societies
Leopold Sax was one of the first athletes in Austrian athletics. He was particularly known as a long-distance runner and, like his competitor at the time, Alois Kwietek, made the leap to the burgeoning football sport . From Währing he came to Vienna's AC in the Prater in 1900 , the strongest Austrian club at the time, for which he played until 1908. As a right runner he was three times Austrian champion in the ÖFU with the black-reds from 1901 to 1903 and won the Challenge Cup , the cup competition of the Austro-Hungarian teams , just as often, namely in 1901, 1903 and 1904 . In 1908 Leopold Sax returned to Währing and played for the Wiener Sport-Club , where he then took over the youth work and acted as a coach for the young footballers.
