Career
societies
In Austria
Karl Pekarna began his career with the small Viennese club Sevilla FC . As an 18-year-old, the postman came to First Vienna FC 1894 and took up the fight for number 1 against the long-time goalie star Karl Mollisch . After an injury to Mollisch, Karl Pekarna received his first appearance in the game against Wiener FC 1898 in May 1900 and quickly became a goalie sensation in Vienna. Pekarna dominated the box like no other in his day and was as strong on the ground as in the air.
On the occasion of the club's ten-year anniversary, Vienna invited several well-known football clubs to a tournament in Döbling at Pentecost 1904 . The invitation came from the Copenhagen Boldklubben af 1893 and the Glasgow Rangers from Scotland. When the Danish goalkeeper injured himself, the Vienna made their goalkeeper Karl Pekarna available to the guests from the north for a game of revenge after a 9-0 defeat by the Scots. The 22-year-old Viennese did a great job and made a lasting impression on the British.
In scotland
The Glasgow Rangers offered the young goalie a professional contract and Karl Pekarna traveled to Scotland for his new employer at Christmas 1904. Pekarna thus became the first football legionnaire on the British Isles and Austria's first football legionnaire and professional footballer.
In Scotland , the athletic goalkeeper, who was paid three and a half pounds a week by the Rangers , soon became famous for his fist defense - which earned him great admiration. He came in the second half of the 1904/05 season, however, in no championship game for use, but his participation was mainly limited to friendly games and the reserve team. Pekarna himself later said: “In the semifinals of the Charity Cup, I played for the first time in the first team that I stayed in until the end of the season”. At the end of the season, the team finished second - tied with local rivals Celtic . The playoff for the championship was won by Celtic and at the Rangers - as in most other games - Thomas Sinclair was in goal. Nevertheless, the Rangers Pekarna are said to have offered a lucrative contract for another season; He returned to Vienna in mid-1905, driven by homesickness.
In Austria
Back in Vienna, he rejoined First Vienna FC. In order to be eligible to play again, he submitted an application for re-amateurization. After the treatment at the association dragged on, Vienna threatened to leave. In the end he was allowed to play again from September.
In Germany
At the end of May 1908 he moved to Munich and joined FC Wacker . His first deployment was delayed as his amateur status was re-examined. In 1910 he moved, not least due to "not inconsiderable payments", to the Bavarian champions FC Bayern , whose German national goalkeeper Ludwig Hofmeister he ousted from the goal. In 1911 he successfully defended the title of Eastern District Champion, to which he contributed in all 18 point games; he made his debut on September 18, 1910 in a 6-0 win in the away game against SpVgg Fürth . Until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Pekarna lived with his wife and two daughters in Munich and worked as a department head in a sporting goods store. After the war he ended his playing career in 1919 at SK Slovan ve Vídni .
In the early 1920s he was active as a trainer. It is known that he sat on the bench at Düren Sportclub 03 in West Germany and in 1921 at Alemannia Aachen for a few months .
Selection / national team
On October 9, 1904, he played in the game of the city team of Vienna against the city team of Budapest, also on May 3, 1908. The "game of the representative teams of the Hungarian and Austrian football associations" won 5: 4 or 4: 0 later declared as an official international match , which was justified since there was hardly any other significant match outside of the metropolises in the two countries.
He was used three times in the competition between the city teams of Vienna and Berlin . The encounters on November 5, 1905 in Vienna, April 7, 1907 and April 5, 1908 in Berlin were all won 4: 0, 2: 1 and 3: 1.
Others
In 1920 he was hit by the bad news of the death of his younger brother Ludwig, also a goalkeeper, often listed as Pekarna II in constellations , who was undermined by an opposing center forward during a friendly game of the Vienna in Ohligs in the Rhineland and fell so unhappily that he fell Spine broke. Karl Pekarna suffered a second stroke of fate in 1926 when he, now working as a trainer, suffered a stroke that paralyzed him on one side and forced him into a wheelchair. Pekarna was no longer able to practice his profession and, as a severely scarred man, withdrew completely into his private life. In 1946 the former soccer hero Karl Pekarna died completely lonely and forgotten by the public in Vienna. His grave is on the Sieveringer Friedhof in the 19th district of Vienna (group 27, row 8, no. 9).
The German Reich coach Otto Nerz once recognized him as "the best goalkeeper of his time".
