Info:

He began his career with the local Beregszás football team, then in 1932 joined the top Czech team, Sparta Prague. He spent six very successful years with the Prague national team, considered one of the best on the continent, with whom he was Czechoslovakian champion, a three-time silver medalist, and a winner of the Central European Cup.

He also had the opportunity to wear the national team jersey and was even a member of the squad that traveled to the 1934 World Cup. The Czechoslovakian team eventually won the silver medal at the tournament, making Géza Kalocsai the first Hungarian to win a World Cup medal, although not in the red and white jersey. He did not play in the World Cup, as his competitor in his position was one of the most prominent left wingers of the time, Antonín Puc.

- Meanwhile, he also played three times for the Czechoslovak national team (the last time was against us in 1935, but they lost...), and even participated as a reserve in the World Cup in Italy. Although he didn't play—unfortunately, his opponent in his position was one of the best left wingers of the time, Antonín Puc—he also received a silver medal, which he proudly kept until his death.

- Nicknamed Kacsa, the short player ended his career at the age of 30 as a member of a major third team in the capital, Újpest, and was then "seduced" by Gusztáv Sebes to become a coach.

- The young left winger, with his excellent physical qualities and athletic build (he ran the 100 meters in less than 11 seconds...), quickly caught the attention of the management of the Czechoslovakian Sparta Prague, which was then a world record.

- Along with Ferdinand Fačinek, Oldřich Zajček, Raimon Bren and Oldřich Niedělý, he was part of the club's main attacking quintet in the mid-1930s. He rarely scored against the opposition goal, but his passes down the wing always intensified the game situation on the pitch. He had excellent technique, great speed and accurate passing.

KALOCSAY Géza dr. (1913), left winger of Kispest FC, played 2 games for the national team in 1940 - Compared to his fellow wingers, Kalocsay was a tall, powerful, fast and dynamic player. He stood out above all for his lightning starts. He handled the ball well and made accurate passes. He also broke decisively and shot powerfully at goal. The alpine-born player also played for the Czechoslovak national team. He is currently training successfully in Poland - Zoltán Antal y József Hoffer - De Albert a Zsák
