Eduard Eelma (7 April 1902 – 16 November 1941) until 1937 Eduard-Vilhelm Ellmann, was an Estonian footballer — one of the most famous before World War II. He played 60 times for Estonia national football team and with 21 goals, was their record goalscorer during the country's first period of independence.

Eduard Eelma's international career lasted from 1921 to 1935 and his goalscoring record of 21 international goals was only beaten in 2002 by Indrek Zelinski, and later by Andres Oper. He also participated in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris.[1]

Eduard Eelma was arrested by NKVD in Tallinn in summer 1941, sentenced to death and executed in Prison No. 1 in Kirov on 16 November 1941.[2][3]

Club career

Ellmann-Eelma joined Kalev when he was 17 years old. They were crowned the Estonian champions in 1923, after Ellmann-Eelma scored two goals in their victorious 6–0 final against Tartu ASK. In 1925, he joined TJK and won the Estonian Championship in 1926 and 1928, again scoring twice in both of the finals.

In 1930, Eduard Ellmann-Eelma became one of the founding members of JS Estonia Tallinn. He captained the club to two Estonian Championship titles in 1934 and 1935, before retiring after the end of the triumphant 1935 season.[4]

International career

Ellmann-Eelma made his debut for the Estonia national football team in their first-ever home match, when Estonia drew 0–0 with Sweden at the Tiigiveski Ground on 23 July 1921. He also took part in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, where Estonia faced USA in the opening round. In the second half of the match, Ellmann-Eelma earned a penalty for Estonia, but it was missed by his teammate Elmar Kaljot and Estonia ultimately lost the match 0–1.

In total, Eduard Eelma made 60 appearances for the national team and scored 21 goals, a record number during Estonia's first period of independence. Out of those 21 goals, ten were scored against Lithuania, eight against Latvia, two against Sweden and one against Finland.[4] Eelma's goalscoring record was beaten in 2002 by Indrek Zelinski, and is now held by Andres Oper.
