Peter Artner (born 20 May 1966) is an Austrian former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Club career

Born in Vienna, Artner started his professional career with Austria Wien where he was the supposed successor of club legend Robert Sara. After a season on loan to First Vienna, he was however deemed surplus to requirements at Austria so he signed for Admira Wacker where he would spend six years before enjoying considerable success at Austria Salzburg.[1] He played in both legs of the 1994 UEFA Cup Final which they lost to Inter Milan.

After indifferent spells in Spain and the Italian Serie B he returned to Austria to finish his career with the Sankt Pölten side.

International career

Artner made his debut for Austria in November 1987 against Romania and was a participant at the 1990 FIFA World Cup,[2] where he was sent off in Austria's first round victory over the United States. He earned 55 caps, scoring one goal.[3] His last international was a May 1996 friendly match against the Czech Republic.
