Matthias Sindelar (10 February 1903 – 23 January 1939) was an Austrian footballer. He played centre-forward for the celebrated Austria national team of the early 1930s known as the ''Wunderteam'', which he captained at the 1934 World Cup. Known as "The Mozart of football" or 'Der Papierene' – 'the Paper-man' for his slight build, he was renowned as one of the finest pre-war footballers, known for his fantastic dribbling ability and creativity. He was voted the best Austrian footballer of the 20th Century in a 1999 poll by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS)〔 〕 and was named Austria's sportsman of the century a year before.〔 〕 ==Early years== Of Czech descent, Sindelar was born Matěj Šindelář in Kozlov, Moravia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the son of Jan Šindelář, a blacksmith, and his wife Marie (née Švengrová). Despite occasional claims that Sindelar was of Jewish origin, the family was Catholic. They moved to Vienna in 1905 and settled in the district of Favoriten, which had a large Czech-speaking community. Young Matěj/Matthias began playing football in the streets of Vienna. 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「Matthias Sindelar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
