Willy Meisl


Goalkeeper Dr.Willy Meisl of Wiener Amateur-Sportverein played one international match, for Austria against Hungary in Vienna on May 2nd 1920. The game ended 2-2.
Meisl was the brother of the legendary Wunderteam manager, Hugo Meisl. He later managed Hammarby IF in Sweden and moved to Britain in the 1930's. Dr Meisl's writings give us great insight into the development of football in Austria and it's Empire.
