Adalbert Steiner II (24 January 1907 – 10 December 1984) was a Romanian football defender.

Club career

[edit]

Steiner was born on 24 January 1907 in Temesvár, Austria-Hungary (now Romania).[1][2][3] He began playing junior-level football at age 13 for local club AVTK.[2] In 1921 he moved to newly-founded club Unirea.[1][2][3] One year later he went to play for Chinezul Timișoara.[1][2][3]

In 1924 at age 17, Steiner started to play for the senior squad of Chinezul, winning three consecutive titles in his first three seasons.[1][2][3] In the first two title wins, he worked with coach Frontz Dőme who used him in 17 matches in the second season.[1][2][4] For the third title he played 15 games under coaches Dőme and Jenő Konrád, also being teammates with his brother, Rudolf.[1][2][4][5] His last club career spell took place in 1930 at CA Timișoara.[1][3][6]

International career

[edit]

Steiner played ten games for Romania.[6] He and his brother Rudolf made their debut together on 7 May 1926 under coach Teofil Morariu in a friendly that ended with a 3–1 away victory against Turkey.[6][7] He played in two victories against Yugoslavia and Greece in the 1929–31 Balkan Cup, a tournament that was won by Romania.[6][8]

Steiner was selected by coach Constantin Rădulescu to be part of Romania's squad for the 1930 World Cup.[2][3][6] There, he played in the first group stage game, a 3–1 victory against Peru in which he was injured by opponent Luis de Souza – an injury from which he never recovered, ending his career at age 23.[2][3][6][9][10] Steiner did not feature in the second game, a 4–0 loss to hosts and eventual world champions Uruguay.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Steiner's father, Karl Steiner, was a Bohemian-born engineer who settled in Temesvár, where he married and had eight children.[2][11] One of Steiner's brothers, Rudolf, was also a footballer, and they played together for Chinezul Timișoara and Romania's national team.[2][3] In 1941, Steiner married a woman named Aurora Subolotzky, with whom he had two sons, Iosif and Adalbert.[2]

Death

[edit]

Steiner died on 10 December 1987 at age 87 in his native Timișoara.[1][3][6]
