Meier started his career with amateur side FV 09 Breidenbach, and moved to Frankfurt in 1956. Erich Meier had his highlights in the matches of the European Cup 1959-60, as he scored four goals in six fixtures. Thus his nickname is originated, Flood light Meier. Arguably his two most remembered appearances include the final match at Glaswegian Hampden Park in the second leg of the semi final at Rangers, when he contributed two goals to the 6-3 victory against the overstrained Brits.
