Václav Sršeň (7 June 1925 – 30 November 1996) was a footballer. A forward, he played for Czechoslovakia, representing his country once in 1948. He made 217 appearances in the Czechoslovak First League, scoring 85 goals, between 1942 and 1958.[1] Among other teams, he played for ATK Prague at club level.[2]

Sršeň made his national team debut on 4 July 1948 in a match against Romania in Bucharest. He was the first player from ATK Prague to represent the national team.[3]

After football

[edit]

Due to him speaking out against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, Sršeň lost his job and was unable to continue with football coaching. After 1989 he ran a Konditorei in Buštěhrad with his daughter, Olga, until his death following a short and severe illness in 1996.[4]
