"We are deeply saddened by this news - Peter Kupferschmidt is one of the personalities who is inextricably linked to the FC Bayern generation on which all of our successes to date are built. The promotion in 1965 was the foundation for everything. I spoke to him myself just this week at our Monday footballers' Christmas party, and we will all remember him fondly forever. Peter Kupferschmidt is an integral part of our club's history. Anyone who hears his name will always remember how FC Bayern began to become the club it is today. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones."
"Franz was the greatest, Gerd was unique, and there will never be another like Sepp,"
Peter Kupferschmidt has died peacefully at home with his family at age 83. He is survived by his wife Anna, son Thomas and daughter Petra. He remained active with FC Bayern into the year of his death, joining the club's 60th-anniversary Lake Tegernsee walk with 500 members and attending the Monday footballers' Christmas party days before he passed. Kupferschmidt played 283 competitive matches for Bayern's first team between 1960 and 1971, scoring four goals. He helped secure promotion to the Bundesliga in 1965, the 1969 championship, three DFB Cup wins (1966, 1967, 1969) and the 1967 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. He joined Bayern in 1956 from SV Gartenstadt Trudering and finished his career in Austria with Sturm Graz and Kapfenberger SV.
