Career

Gold shooter in the Mitropacup

The Erdberger Camillo Jerusalem played as a center forward in the fighting team of the small Landstraßer club "Falke" at the age of fourteen. At the age of 16, the trained leather clothing worker came to the third-class Landstraßer amateurs , where he was recruited by Vienna Austria after only six months . With the violets he took the position of the left connector, together with the fine technicians Matthias Sindelar and Josef Stroh , the powerful striker forms the most famous inner trio in the club's history.

Camillo Jerusalem won his first title in 1935 when Austria beat WAC 5-1 in the ÖFB Cup final. Jerusalem also took part in the purple scoring with a hit. In the following season, the cup triumph was repeated - this time the links connector contributed two goals to 3-0 over Vienna . Camillo Jerusalem also managed to win the title internationally this season. After Austria failed in the semifinals of the Mitropa Cup in 1935, Jerusalem's club was in the final of the forerunner competition of the European Cup in 1936 - the way there was already 6 Jerusalem goals. The first leg in Vienna against Sparta Prague ended 0-0, but in the Strahov Stadium he scored the only goal in the 1-0 away win in the second leg. In front of more than 60,000 spectators, he headed a Bobby Riegler cross in the 67th minute and was unsustainable.

Masters in France and Switzerland

In 1936 Camillo Jerusalem was allowed to make his debut against Italy in the Austrian national team . Until the dissolution of the team in 1938, he was a regular in his position and had a remarkable record with six goals in nine international matches. Things shouldn't go well with Austria: in the championship they missed winning the title with the same number of points as Admira , in the Mitropacup the violets were stopped in the semifinals by Ferencváros . After he could not cope with the new balance of power after the annexation of Austria in 1938, he left Austria, which now had to carry the name SC Ostmark , and went to FC Sochaux in France. During the Second World War he was temporarily held in German captivity in Langres , but France also had good things to offer with its wedding in 1942.

After the end of the war in 1945, Camillo Jerusalem returned to Vienna, where he was immediately reinstated in the Austrian national team by Karl Zankl , even before he had even played a championship game for Austria. After only eleven top division games and three international matches, the striker was brought back to France by FC Sochaux after half a year. From 1946 to 1947, Camillo Jerusalem played a year and a half at CO Roubaix-Tourcoing and became French champions together with his teammate from Linz, Henri Hiltl . After a year at SR Colmar , the Viennese moved to RCFC Besançon in Division 2 in 1949 . After a few months, Karl Rappan brought him to Switzerland to Servette FC Genève , where in 1950 he won the Swiss championship alongside Jacques Fatton . In 1951, Camillo Jerusalem moved as a player- coach to FC Grenchen , who had been relegated to the second division, and led the club back to National League A in the first season by winning the relegation .
