Peter Jehle

Club career Jehle was born in Schaan as the youngest of three brothers, all of whom grew up playing football. At the age of 16 he had trials with English Premier League clubs Liverpool and Crystal Palace, and both offered him professional contracts but he turned them down to stay home and finish school. Subsequently, he got further offers from Bayer Leverkusen of the Bundesliga and Juventus of Serie A, but turned those down as well.

Eventually, Jehle signed with Grasshoppers because of its proximity to his hometown. he deputised in goal the next game, and kept a clean sheet in a 4–0 win. In June 2008, following the Porto team's relegation from the Portuguese Primeira Liga due to the Apito Dourado affair, he left and signed a one-year contract with Tours from Ligue 2.

After one season in France, Jehle returned to his country and joined Vaduz in the Swiss Challenge League. On 20 April 2018, the 36-year-old announced his retirement at the end of the campaign, following which he would work with the Liechtenstein Football Association in directorial capacities.

International career Jehle made his debut for Liechtenstein on 14 October 1998, in a 2–1 win over Azerbaijan for the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifiers which was the country's first ever competitive victory.

On 22 March 2013, with the score at 1–1 against Latvia, the opposition was awarded a penalty. Aleksandrs Cauņa stepped up to convert it but Jehle saved the shot, thus earning the hosts one of just two points during the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification.
