Between 1963 and 1971, Libuda gained 26 caps for the West Germany national team and scored three goals.[4] In the GermanBundesliga he played 264 games and scored 28 goals for FC Schalke 04 and Borussia Dortmund.[5]
Later he was involved in theBundesligaskandal of 1971. The shy Libuda later suffered from cancer, and died from the complications of a stroke inGelsenkirchen.
