Career

Professional career

Weinhofer began his professional career in 1980 with Rapid Vienna, and made over 150 league appearances for the club over the next eight seasons.[1] During the Second Round of the 1984–85 European Cup Winners' Cup, in a match against Scottish side Celtic, Weinhofer claimed he had been hit and injured by an object thrown by Celtic's fans; UEFA ordered the match to be replayed.[2] Rapid progressed at Celtic's expense, and eventually reached the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup Final - a match which Weinhofer played in - before losing to Everton.

After leaving Rapid in 1988, Weinhofer later played for St. Pölten and Stockerau.[1]

International career

Weinhofer earned four caps for the Austrian national side between 1986 and 1987.[1]
