Josef SROUBEK

Like many other Czechslovakians, Josef Šroubek played football in summer and ice hockey in winter. Talented at both, Šroubek made the national team in both sports. His greatest successes came on the ice, winning the European Championships five times, with Bohemia in 1911 and 1912, and with Czechoslovakia in 1922, 1925 and 1929. At the 1920 Olympics, it was Šroubek's goal that brought his country a 1-0 victory over Sweden in the bronze medal match. In football, he only played a single international, a friendly against Yugoslavia (6-1) in 1921.
