František Plánička ((:ˈfrancɪʃɛk ˈplaːɲɪtʃka); 2 June 1904 – 20 July 1996) was a Czech football goalkeeper and one of the most honoured players in the history of Czechoslovakian football. He played all his career for Slavia Prague, during which time the club won the Czech league eight times and the Mitropa Cup once. He also became a member of the Czechoslovakia national team and later its captain during the World Cup finals of 1934 (where the Czech team finished second) and 1938. Plánička was a courageous player, to the extent that in Czechoslovakia's 1938 World Cup match against Brazil, he remained on the field despite having suffered a serious injury.〔Although some sources indicate that Plánička boke his arm by colliding with Brazilian striker Perácio ((), ()), these Brazilian sources (both ): () state that the injury occurred when the goalkeeper collided with the post, while defending the Brazilian's shot. Some sources also suggest that Plánička not only broke his arm, but also broke (or dislocated) his clavicle, or that he injured his clavicle but not his arm.〕 He was a goalkeeper of outstanding reflexes and shot-stopping abilities〔 and was also characterized by his sportsmanship, never once being cautioned or sent off in his career. He was awarded the UNESCO International Fair Play Award in 1985〔 (''Radio Praha, Český rozhlas 7'' - Czech football legend František Plánička ) - Radio Praha, Czech Republic.〕 In 1999, the IFFHS elected him the best Czech goalkeeper – and ninth best overall – of the twentieth century.〔(IFFHS' Century Elections ) - www.rsssf.com - by Karel Stokkermans, RSSSF.〕〔(The World's best Goalkeeper of the Century ) - www.iffhs.de - IFFHS. Retrieved October 29, 2006.〕 In 2003, he was catalogued as the greatest goalkeeper of an era〔(Sports Illustrated's World Cup Hall of Fame - Frantisek Planicka ) - sportsillustrated.cnn.com - CNN/Sports Illustrated, 2003.〕〔Source: 〕 that included other notable keepers such as Ricardo Zamora and Giampiero Combi. ==Club career== Born in Prague, Plánička played most of his footballing career and lived most of his life in the Czech capital. In the beginning of his career, Plánička played for the clubs ''Slovan Praha VII'', ''Union VII'', ''Staroměstský SK Olympia'', and ''SK Bubeneč''. He played for Slavia Prague from 1923 to 1938, in what has been one of the most successful eras in the club's history. During thirteen seasons with the club between 1925 and 1938, Slavia won seven league titles and Plánička played 196 league matches. He appeared in a total of 969 matches, of which Slavia won 742.〔 (Official web site of Slavia Prague - František Plánička bio ) - by Michael Janáček, Slavia Praha, 2004.〕 Despite being of below-average height for a goalkeeper, at 1.72m (5 ft 8 in),〔 (''Planicka: Astro do 'fair play ) - by André Lacerda, trivela.com, 2006〕 he was an effective shot stopper, and his acrobatic style earned him the nickname ''The Cat of Prague''.〔 ("Planicka, Der König der Robinsonaden" ) - sport.ARD.de - WDR, 2005〕 In 1932, Slavia reached the semifinals of the Mitropa Cup. In the first leg, they beat Juventus FC 4-0; in the second leg, Juventus had a 2-0 lead after which, according to RSSSF, Slavia resorted to obstruction and time wasting, which extended to the stands to the point that spectators started throwing stones on the pitch; one of the projectiles hit Plánička, causing him a serious injury. Slavia abandoned the pitch and the game stopped, and this led to their disqualification from the tournament.〔(Mitropa Cup 1932 report ) - by Karel Stokkermans, RSSSF, 1999.〕 Plánička also won six ''Bohemia cups'' (a domestic tournament) with Slavia, in 1926, 1927, 1928, 1930, 1932, and 1935. His only international title came in 1938, when his club finally won the Mitropa Cup. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「František Plánička」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
