Leopold Drucker
Leopold Drucker (22 February 1903 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary – 25 February 1988 in New York City, United States) was an Austrian international footballer and coach. Biography He made his debut for the youth team of Hakoah Vienna (Hebrew for ''the Force'', a Jewish multisports club in Vienna) and moved to the first team, then playing in the Austrian second division. His first match in the first division came in December 1920 with the Hakoah first team, who had just been promoted. He marked his appearance with a goal.

The objective was for the team to be immediately re-promoted to the first division, and the following season, Floridsdorfer returned to the elite. Drucker was one of the key players for the team, playing almost every game in the victorious 1925–1926 s ...
