He could literally do everything in football, after Kad'a he became the leader of our team. His first contract was only one year with a monthly salary of 1500 crowns.

At the 1934 World Championship, he was the top scorer with five goals. While he was still playing for Rakovik, where he had played since he was 16, he seriously injured his knee and few doctors told him he was finished with football. Immediately after his arrival to Sparta he became an official figure of its offense. He was not only able to finish actions, but also to establish them.

His combativeness made him a footballer of international stature. He has been described by numerous experts as the best winger in Europe.
Sparta is a nice team, and that's enough for me to like it. And then, in front of such a great crowd IN Prague, it's good for everyone to play.
