Günter Kutowski (born 2 August 1965) is a German retired footballer who played as a defender.[1]

Football career

Born in Paderborn, Kutowski joined Borussia Dortmund in 1984 at the age of 19, arriving from local amateurs 1. FC Paderborn. He made his Bundesliga debut on 2 March 1985 in a 1–1 home draw against FC Bayern Munich, and finished his first season with 16 complete games as the club ranked in 14th position and avoided relegation by just one point.

In eight of the following eleven years Kutowski was an automatic first-choice for the Black and Yellow, scoring his first goal in the top division on 10 August 1985 in a 1–1 draw at 1. FC Saarbrucken. In the 1992–93 campaign he appeared in 40 official contests, including eight in the club's runner-up run in the UEFA Cup.

Kutowski left Borussia in December 1995, joining lower league side TuS Paderborn-Neuhaus. His last stop as a professional came in 1996–97, as he played a few matches with Rot-Weiss Essen who ultimately suffered relegation from the second division; he retired altogether at 36, and subsequently became a player's agent.[2][3]
