Horst Nemec (born January 25, 1939 - † June 23, 1984 ) was an Austrian national soccer player . He was able to become three-time Austrian champions with Wiener Austria and just as often conquer the top scorer's crown in the Austrian Bundesliga. Overall, he was considered one of the strongest strikers in Austria in the early 1960s.

Career

Horst Nemec began his football career in August 1950 at Rudolfsheimer AC and came to Austria via SC Helfort Wien , for which he made his Bundesliga debut in the 1957/58 season. Just two years later he was already in the ranks of the Austrian national team. He played his first international match in the round of 16 of the European Championship in 1960 against Norway and immediately scored his first two international goals in a 5-2 win. In the quarter-finals, the end against France came, but with the third Nemec national goal. So he quickly played his way into Austria's starting eleven in the successful Decker era . He scored in the famous 3-0 victory over Spain in front of an all-time audience record in the Prater Stadium , as well as in the 3-1 win over England .

However, the 3-1 victory over Czechoslovakia on April 24, 1963, in which Horst Nemec scored all three Austrian goals, is often cited as his best international match . In the meantime, the striker was able to dominate the championship with Austria and managed to win three times the championship from 1961 to 1963, in which he naturally played a major role as the three-time top scorer in the Bundesliga . The striker remained active in the team until 1965, ending his career at Vienna , for which he scored his last of his 146 Bundesliga goals in just 220 games in 1968. After the relegation of Vienna to the Regionalliga Ost, he contributed significantly to the championship title (1968/69 season) and immediate promotion through numerous goals. In the early 1970s he trained Rosenhügel.

After his career, Nemec ran an espresso on Gumpendorfer Strasse in Vienna. After his untimely death in 1984 he was buried at the Baumgartner Friedhof (group F1, number 512).
