Career

Rudi Szanwald joined the Wiener Sport-Club as early as 1946 at the age of fourteen, where the goalkeeper played his first game in the A-League in 1951/52 . Soon the Dornbacher goalkeeper, he barely missed the first big title win in 1954/55 as runner-up. In the same season Rudi Szanwald came on October 16, 1955 against Hungary for his first international appearance in the Austrian national team. The years 1958 and 1959 developed as career high points, in which he twice won the championship with the Wiener Sport-Club and in both cases advanced to the quarter-finals in the subsequent European Cup . 0 home victory on October 1, 1958: Until the soccer presence here of seven remarkable European Champion Clubs' Cup against Italian champions Juventus , stood by the Szanwald goal. In the same year he took part in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden with the Austrian national team. In a difficult group with England , Brazil and the Soviet Union , he came against the first two teams mentioned, but did not make it to the quarter-finals.

With goalkeepers like Kurt Schmied , who also played in the World Cup match against the Soviet Union, and later Gernot Fraydl as a competitor, Rudi Szanwald gained the reputation of the noble reservist in the national team, but he made twelve international matches for Austria by 1965. After remaining loyal to the Wiener Sport-Club as a player for exactly twenty years, the goalkeeper went to SK Austria Klagenfurt in 1966 to finish his career . Rudi Szanwald continued to offer his usual strong performances at the Wörthersee and was therefore brought in by the Austria Wien football club in 1967 to replace Arkoc Özcan, who had gone to Germany . Szanwald played for the title for another three years and even won two Austrian championships in a row in 1969 and 1970.
