Mike Winter is a former U.S.-Austrian Soccer Goalkeeper .


NASL

Winter was born in Austria . In 1972, the St. Louis Stars of the North American Soccer League (NASL) selected Winter as their goalkeeper. That year, he had the second lowest Goals Against Average (GAA) in the league, behind Kenny Cooper . That achievement led to his selection as the 1972 NASL Rookie of the Year. Winter spent the next two years with the Stars before the Chicago Sting selected him in the 1975 NASL Expansion Draft. He played one season with the Sting, then left the NASL.


NATIONAL TEAM

In 1972, Winter earned his first Cap with the U.S. National Team . He never became a regular starter for the national team as he had significant competition in the nets from Mike Ivanow and Bob Rigby . However he did earn six caps, but had no shutouts, and more significantly, no wins. {Link without Title}
