Elemer Hirsch (14 May 1895 – 17 May 1953) was a Romanian lawyer, figure skater, ice hockey player and a football defender, manager and referee.[1][2][3][4]

Life and career

Elemer Hirsch came from a wealthy Jewish family who owned large portions of land in Beclean.[1][5] He studied law school in Budapest and Vienna, starting to work as a lawyer at age 24.[1] He started playing football at CA Cluj.[2] Several years later he moved to Universitatea Cluj, where he also played ice hockey.[2][4][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.[1][2][4][5] After he retired from playing football, he became a football referee, including arbitrating in a Romanian top-division Divizia A match.[2][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.[1][3][11] He managed to escape from Cluj when the authorities wanted to send him to a Holocaust extermination camp.[1][3][5] After the end of World War II he returned to Cluj and started his coaching career at CFR.[2][5][12] Between 1947 and 1948 he was the federal captain of Romania's national team.[2] In 1950 he became coach at Armata Cluj.[1] 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.[1][5]
