Tom Peter Starke (born 18 March 1981) is a former German football goalkeeper. Starke played for six German Bundesliga clubs throughout his career that lasted for 18 seasons. Starke is currently working as a goalkeeper coordinator for the Bayern Munich youth teams.

Club career

Bayern Munich

Starke was signed by Bayern Munich in 2012.[2] He made his first appearance for the club on 31 October 2012 during a DFB-Pokal match against 1. FC Kaiserslautern without conceding any goals. Starke's Bundesliga debut for Bayern came in a 1–0 away win at his previous team TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on 3 March 2013, and on his second Bundesliga appearance, in a match against 1. FC Nürnberg on 13 April, he saved a penalty from Timmy Simons with his face.[3][4]

Starke announced his retirement on 17 May 2017 and played his final official match on 20 May, in a 4–1 win for FC Bayern Munich against SC Freiburg.[5] He was signed by Bayern as goalkeeping coach coordinator.[6]

Due to the injury of Manuel Neuer, Starke was called back to play for Bayern Munich in the pre-season matches of the 2017–18 season. He was called to be in Bayern's UEFA Champions League squad in September 2017.[7] He made his return with some fine saves in a 1–0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on 10 December 2017.[8] At the end of the 2017-18 season, Starke retired again from professional football and went back to his job at the FC Bayern Campus as the goalkeeper coordinator for Bayern's youth teams.[9]
