- An official Football League was created with the season 1911/12 but only for Vienna.
- In an interview conducted in April 1990, the international player of the twenties Karl ‘Vogerl’ Geyer told me that he had joined the Amateures in 1920 (when he was 21 years old) not only because of the salary but also in order to become part of a ‘more intelligent’ social group.
- Uridil who came from the working‐class district of Ottakring became famous because of this remarkable qualities as a scorer. A contemporary described him as follows: ‘Others have scored goals before him, but no one of them had his enormous impetus, his irresistible vehemence which made him sweep across the football field … . His rivals were shivering and shaking when the small, but sturdy Urifil launched one of his devastating attacks’ (Schmieger, quoted after Schauppmeier 1956, p,63).
- In this context it would be interesting to compare the break‐down of the political/cultural institutions of ‘Red Vienna’ (and with it of the workers sports movement) by the two fascisms with the break‐down of the working class cultural environment during the time of the economic and social reconstruction after 1945.
- The price of a live transmission was 300,000 AS. On the 8th October 1961 this was carried through for the first time when Austria played against Hungary. How strong the fascination for TV‐soccer games was is shown clearly by the fact that although 90,000 tickets were sold, only 8,000 were finally used once it was announed that the game would be transmitted live on TV (Welt am Montag, 9.10.1961).
- Most of the Austrian players went to France, but quite a few joined clubs in Italy, Spain and Germany. A few names: Rudi Hiden, Gustl Jordan, Karl Decker, Ernst Happel and Ernst Ocwirk.
