Isidor Gansl (16 November 1896 – 15 October 1938) was a Romanian football forward of Jewish origin.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Gansl was born on 16 November 1896 in Ásvány, Austria-Hungary.[3][4][5] At age 16, he founded the football club Sportclub Unitas alongside his brother, Max.[6] In 1914, he went to play for Wiener.[1][6] Four years later, Gansl joined Ferencvárosi TC where he formed an offensive trio along with Sándor Nemes and Mihály Pataki.[1][6] Gansl made his Nemzeti Bajnokság I debut on 8 December 1918 in a 2–0 home win over Terézvárosi TC in which he scored a goal.[4][5] Ferencvárosi TC finished the season in second place and he contributed with four more goals, including a goal in a 2–0 victory against Kispest, a double in a 3–0 success over Budapesti AK and the only goal of a 1–0 win against Törekvés SE.[4][5][6] Subsequently, Gansl joined Hakoah Vienna where he was teammates with his brother Jeno and former Ferencvárosi TC colleague Nemes.[1][4][5][6] He helped them gain promotion to the first league at the end of the 1919–20 2. Klasse season.[1][6] In the middle of the 1922–23 season, he went to play for one and a half seasons at Maccabi Cernăuți.[1][6] Afterwards, Gansl joined Hakoah Graz where he ended his career in 1926.[1][6] He had to retire at age 30 because of an injury, even though he had an offer to play for Hakoah Vienna.[6]

International career

[edit]

Gansl played one match for Romania on 26 October 1923 under coach Constantin Rădulescu in a 2–2 friendly draw against Turkey in which he scored both of his side's goals.[3][7][8] Thus he became the first player to score a double for Romania.[6][9]
