Antonín Vodička (born March 1, 1907 in Vršovice , † August 9, 1975 ) was a Czechoslovak football player and coach , as well as ice hockey coach .
Club career
Vodička learned to play football on the streets of Prague and from 1920 played for the Prague Old Town club SK Olympia. After a short stay at Union Žižkov in 1923, Vodička returned to the Old Town Olympics and moved to Slavia in November 1925. After that, the inconspicuous but reliable and robust guard went steeply upwards. After only half a year with the red-whites, the invitation to the national team followed.
With Slavia Vodička was national champion seven times: 1929, 1930, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1935 and the last time in 1937. In 163 league games for Slavia, the midfielder scored three goals, where he had to wait for his first league goal until the 1930/31 season.
Vodička let his career end after 1937 with Hvězda Košíře.
National team
Vodička made his debut on June 13, 1926 in a 2-2 draw against Sweden in Stockholm in the Czechoslovak national team . After that, the defensive player only played sporadically, but was one of the main squad of the ČSR in 1930 and 1931. In the summer of 1934 Vodička was part of the Czechoslovak squad at the World Cup in Italy , but was not used there.
Vodička's best game for Czechoslovakia is the 4-5 defeat by England at White Hart Lane on December 1, 1937. It was Vodička's penultimate international match. The Slavia player played his last game in the shirt with the lion on his chest a week later in Glasgow's Ibrox Park , while the Czechoslovak Republic lost 5-0 to hosts Scotland.
On October 27, 1935 Vodička was at the premiere of the Czechoslovak B-team on the field, which was subject to a U-23 selection from Italy with 1: 3 in Genoa .
Coaching career
Vodička looked after the Czechoslovak national team on April 18, 1948. In Warsaw , the ČSR lost to Poland 1: 3.
ice Hockey
In 1948 and 1949 Vodička also worked as a coach and an official in ice hockey . With the LTC Prague he was Czechoslovakian champion in 1948/49, with the Czechoslovakian selection in 1949 world and European champion. However, the former soccer player was only a coach on paper; the teams were in fact looked after by Vladimír Zábrodský .
