[1] Güngör, born in Aachen of Turkish descent, began playing rugby when he was nine years old in 1990.

He spent some time with the French club SO Millau and the Belgian team RC Visé in 2004.

With Heidelberg, he won two German championships, in 2006 and 2007 and made a losing appearance in the 2008 final against SC 1880 Frankfurt.

He was not selected for the qualifying tournaments of the 2010 European sevens Championship but captained the German team again in 2011, when it won promotion to the 7s Grand Prix Series for 2012.

This led to great resentment by the players towards the DRV and its then-chairman Claus-Peter Bach because all four had turned down other options in favour of the promised place in the Sportkompanie.
