Bruno Edmund Pezzey (3 February 1955 – 31 December 1994) was an Austrian professional footballer who played as a defender.
Regarded as one of Austria's greatest defenders of all time, Pezzey started his professional career at local side FC Vorarlberg and moved to FC Wacker Innsbruck after only one season, winning two league titles and a domestic cup.
The sweeper then joined Eintracht Frankfurt in 1978,[1] winning the UEFA Cup and a DFB-Pokal.
He earned 84 caps, scoring nine goals,[3] still in 2016 ranked fifth with Friedrich Koncilia in Austria's all-time appearances list.
Pezzey died of heart failure in an Innsbruck hospital on New Year's Eve 1994 after participating in a game of ice hockey, just a few weeks short of his 40th birthday.
