Career
The goal itself, scored in the match of Blau-Weiß-Post Recklinghausen against Football Club Jung-Siegfried Hillerheide was a strong 15-yard blast over the goalie, filmed with amateur footage. When it was screened on television, Meyer became an instant national hero. As a side note, he also used his fame to sign a sponsorship with a drug store.
He once trained German soccer international Martin Max when he was a child.
