Regarded as tough and uncompromising player, he had good speed and crosses when joining the attack. Player with strong tackling and very consistent. Schäfer played 373 Bundesliga games for VfB Stuttgart and Arminia Bielefeld and was assistant coach at VfB Stuttgart. His achievements are the second place in the UEFA Cup in 1989 and second place in the DFB Cup 1986 and the German championship in 1984 and 1992. All the success he attained with VfB Stuttgart. The fans of VfB Stuttgart respected him for his great dedication. Unforgettable for the fans to this day is his rescue, which made winning the German championship in 1992 when he prevented by a bicycle kick in the decisive match against Bayer 04 Leverkusen a possible goal, though he risked by this action a serious injury. Günther Schäfer is currently head of the VfB Soccer School. In coaching team of VfB he cares mostly about the defensive play ever since - and is at least as ambitious as a player. As a fan representative from then on he took care of the interests of the VfB fans and was also in his new role, a role model in terms of commitment and determination. since 2000 he owns the coach-A license. When Matthias Sammer, friend since VfB times with Günther Schäfer, as the head coach at VfB took over he offered the VfB legend the post of assistant coach, he didn't need to long thinking and accepted it.
