Ernst "Stoissi" Stojaspal (born January 14, 1925 in Vienna , † April 3, 2002 in Moulins-lès-Metz ) was an Austrian football player in the position of striker .
Career
Vienna and the 1954 World Cup
Ernst Stojaspal began his career with various Viennese football clubs. He played for FC Strindberg, Mautner Markhof and Simmering, among others. In 1939 the striker came to Ostbahn XI , which then appeared as SG Reichsbahn as part of a war game community. With the Reichsbahnern he was promoted to the first division in 1942, trading as the Gauliga at the time. He soon scored his first first division goal. At the end of the season, SG Reichsbahn and Wacker Wien finished eighth and ninth. Wacker won 2-1 in a play-off to avoid relegation on August 15, 1943.
But Stojaspal was no longer present at this game, as he was drafted into the Wehrmacht in June of that year. There, after about a year, he had his hand broken by a fellow footballer and communist friend in order to avoid being deployed at the front. In October 1944 he was found guilty of undermining military strength by the court martial of Division 177, along with other co-defendants , and sentenced to eight years in prison. After the end of the war in May 1945, however, he was released again.
Already in the 1945/46 season Ernst Stojaspal played with FK Austria Wien in the first post-war season of a first Austrian league. Already in his first season, the left-footed and good technician - who has always been a little criticized for his somewhat rounded physique in the course of his career - set his record of 36 goals in 22 games. In total, he was five times top scorer with a total of 220 goals in 183 league games until he left Austria. He was Austrian champion with the club in 1949, 1950 and 1953, as well as twice runner-up. In addition, there were the cup victories in 1947 and 1948. He still holds the goal record at Austria today and was not least voted into the Austria-Eleven of the Century . He is sixth in the post-war scorer list of the first Austrian league. The first, Hans Krankl , scored exactly 100 more goals.
Due to his great success at Austria, Ernst Stojaspal was called up to the national team in 1946 . He also scored his first goal for Austria when he beat Italy 2: 3 in Milan . He played his most important international matches at the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland . Austria took third place sensationally, Stojaspal contributed three goals. In the small final against defending champions Uruguay , he also gave Austria a 1-0 lead with what was probably the most important goal of his career.
New beginning in France
After the great successes in Austria, Ernst Stojaspal was drawn abroad. He became a legionnaire in France , although this meant the end of his career in the national team. In France, he first went to Racing Strasbourg , where he scored three goals in his first game in the top French league in a 5-1 win over Nancy. In 189 games he scored a total of 74 goals in the French league, and in 1955 he was also the second best league shooter . After his time in Strasbourg he also played for AS Monaco , AS Béziers , AS Troyes-Savinienne and FC Metz before ending his active career in 1962.
After his active career, Ernst Stojaspal also tried his hand at coaching France, Switzerland and Belgium with moderate success. He also ran a café, the “Café de Vienne” in Monaco . In the spring of 2002, after a serious illness, he died of a weak heart while taking a walk near his retirement home in Metz at the age of 77.
