Elemer Hirsch (14 May 1895 – 17 May 1953) was a Romanian lawyer, figure skater, ice hockey player and a football defender, manager and referee.[2][3][4][5]

Life and career

Elemer Hirsch came from a wealthy Jewish family who owned large portions of land in Beclean.[2] He studied law school in Budapest and Vienna, starting to work as a lawyer at age 24.[2] He started playing football at CA Cluj.[3] Several years later he moved to Universitatea Cluj, where he also played ice hockey.[3][5][6][7][8][9] Hirsch also competed in figure skating competitions, managing to win three Romanian national titles in 1924, 1925 and 1927, also becoming an international figure skating judge.[2][3][5] After he retired from playing football, he became a football referee, including arbitrating in a Romanian top-division Divizia A match.[3][10] In the 1940s following the Second Vienna Award, due to his Jewish origin, the Hungarian authorities prohibited him from working as a lawyer and deprived him of his property which was later nationalized by the Romanian communist regime.[2][4][11] He managed to escape from Cluj when the authorities wanted to send him to a Holocaust extermination camp.[2][4] After the end of World War II he returned to Cluj and started his coaching career at CFR.[3][12] Between 1947 and 1948 he was the federal captain of Romania's national team.[3] In 1950 he became coach at Armata Cluj.[2] In May 1953 after the end of a match in Baia Mare he collapsed on his way to the team bus, the goalkeeper Nicolae Szoboszlay tried to give him first aid but Hirsch died in his arms.[2]

International career

Elemer Hirsch played in the first official match of Romania's national team at the 1922 King Alexander's Cup, against Yugoslavia.[2][13][14] Hirsch bought Romania's equipment for that match from his own money.[2][13] He was also part of Romania's 1924 Summer Olympics squad.[3][15]
