from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanislav Štrunc (born October 30, 1942 in Skvrňany , † November 8, 2001 ) was a Czech football player . He scored 100 goals in 328 first division games and played three international matches for Czechoslovakia .

Player career

Stanislav Štrunc played from the age of 14 for Spartak Pilsen , where he started in goal. Because of his speed, however, he soon played as a right winger. In the juniors from Spartak Pilsen, however, there was an oversupply and Štrunc went to Spartak Skvrňany , which acted as a kind of B-team from Spartak Pilsen. There Štrunc scored goals like on an assembly line and was brought back.

In the autumn of 1961 Štrunc made his debut for Spartak Pilsen in the 1st Czechoslovak League, a few weeks later he scored his first goal against Dynamo Žilina , the game ended 4-3. In 1965 the tall attacker moved to Dukla Prague , where he spent the most successful part of his career. In 1966 he won the championship and cup double, in 1969 Dukla was again Czechoslovak Cup winner .

Stanislav Štrunc played three times in the Czechoslovak national team . He made his debut on June 12, 1966 at the Maracanã Stadium , Czechoslovakia defeated Brazil 2-1. Then four years passed before Štrunc was allowed to represent his country again. On October 7, 1970 he was in the team that only managed a 1-1 draw against Finland in the European Championship qualification . A friendly match against Poland on October 25 of the same year, which ended 2-2, was Štrunc's last appearance in Czechoslovak dress.

More often played Štrunc for the Czechoslovak Olympic selection, he was in the squad for the 1968 Summer Games in Mexico.

In 1972 Štrunc returned to Pilsen to help the team that had just been promoted to stay in the league. In March 1976 he shot in the game against VSS Košice his 99th first division, which he was missing only one thing to be included in the elite group of goal scorers, the club ligových kanonýrů . But the now 33-year-old Štrunc should wait a long time for this goal. When his teammates then began to pass the ball to him where it made little sense, coach Tomáš Pospíchal stopped him . The aging striker got one last chance on May 28, 1977 on the penultimate match day of the 1976/77 season against Inter Bratislava . In the second half he got a pass from Karel Süss and finally scored his hundredth goal. There was no play for a few minutes, as Štrunc not only congratulated his teammates, but also the opponents and the referee team. Just a week later, Stanislav Štrunc ended his career, even if he played in the lower leagues for Lachema Kaznějov (1977-1979) and Potraviny Plzeň (1979).

Since 2004, FC Viktoria Pilsen has organized an annual international junior tournament in honor of Stanislav Štrunc, the Memoriál Stanislava Štrunce .
