Wiener Sportclub
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wiener Sportclub, commonly referred to simply as WSC, was established in 1883 playing in club colours of black and white. One of Vienna's oldest athletics clubs, their traditional home is in the Dornbach quarter of the city.
At various times throughout its history the club has had departments for fencing, boxing, wrestling, cycling, handball, track and field, field hockey, tennis, football and waterpolo. Of these only the football and fencing departments remain active alongside the recently formed (2005) waterpolo section.
The football team enjoyed success as Austrian national champions in 1922, 1958 and 1959. Their 1958 season included an impressive 7:0 victory over Juventus in European Champions Cup play – the worst defeat ever inflicted on an Italian side in any European cup competition.
Player, and later, coach and manager Erich Hof is the club's legend.
