Zvonko Jazbec (Croatian pronunciation: [zʋǒːŋko jǎzbets];[1][2] born 7 September 1911 in Ohio, USA-died 15 March 1970 in Zagreb) was a Croatian football goalkeeper. He spent his career at HŠK Concordia Zagreb during the 1930s in the Yugoslav First League.[3]
Club career[edit]
At age 4, he and his father moved to Croatia where Zvonko eventually established himself at one of the country's top clubs, HŠK Concordia.
International career[edit]
Initially trained as an athletic runner, he began to play football for the Yugoslavia national team, making his debut in a March 1934 friendly match against Bulgaria[4] and earning a total of 10 caps. Upon the foundation of the temporary Croatian team after German invasion of Yugoslavia, Jazbec played for his adopted background heritage in 3 international matches, including the very first match against Switzerland.[5] He coincidentally enough also scored a goal during his tenure.[6]
