Karlheinz Pflipsen - Panathinaikos FC

Karlheinz Pflipsen (born 31 October 1970) is a retired German footballer who played as a midfielder.

Pflipsen played the first decade of his career at hometown club Borussia Mönchengladbach. In 1998–99, Pflipsen was signed by Panathinaikos FC, and his talent became evident from the very beginning. Unfortunately, in a 1999–2000 UEFA Cup match against Deportivo de La Coruña, Pflipsen sustained a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. After recovering, he returned to Germany to play for Alemannia Aachen and TSV 1860 Munich, both in the second division, and retired at almost 35. In 2008, Pflipsen started his managerial career, joining Rot-Weiß Essen II.
