Uwe Gospodarek (born 6 August 1973 in Straubing, West Germany) is a retired German footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Football career
Gospodarek started playing professionally with FC Bayern Munich, but would only manage seven first team appearances during four seasons, being barred by two internationals: first Raimond Aumann, then Oliver Kahn.[1]
Afterwards, he moved to VfL Bochum, helping it move straight from the second division into the UEFA Cup, as he only missed two league matches combined.[2]
After an unassuming stint with 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Gospodarek resumed his career in the regional leagues, with SSV Jahn Regensburg, joining modest second-tier outfit SV Wacker Burghausen in 2003–04.[3] In 2007, he moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach, being released midway through his second season and retired in July 2009, joining former side Wacker Burghausen as goalkeepers' coach.[4]
On 20 December 2009, Gospodarek announced his comeback to active football joining Hannover 96, where he filled the vacant place after the death of Robert Enke.[5] He retired at the end of the 2009–10 campaign, without any appearances.
