Info:

He was primarily a midfielder, known for his gentlemanly approach to the field. He played 23 matches for the Czechoslovak national team and scored five goals. He already participated in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, where he made his debut for the national team in a match against Northern Ireland, but his greatest success came in the Chilean championship, where Czechoslovakia finished second. He also won a bronze medal from the first-ever European Championship in 1960 (then called the Nations Cup).

In the youth ranks, he played for Slovan Bratislava, but had the opportunity to play in the league for VSS Košice. He played there from 1953 to 1956. He spent the peak of his career at ČH Bratislava (the future Inter Bratislava), where he played from 1956 to 1968. He spent the last two years of his career at LASK Linz, Austria.

- Rodák z Pustých Úľan bol kráľom vzdušných súbojov, vynikal technikou, mal skvelý cit pre prihrávku a obísť súpera s loptou na nohe mu nerobilo problém.

Patril do generácie, ktorá sa nespoliehala, že aj po hráčskej kariére sa oprie len o futbal. Vyštudoval právo, získal titul doktora, pracoval ako právnik v Slovnafte až do dôchodku.

Vďaka jeho výške usilovali o neho aj basketbalisti. Hral dokonca za juniorský výber Bratislavy, známy tréner Kuro Uberal ho presviedčal, aby dal definitívne prednosť deravým košom, keď jeho tím s Buberníkom v zostave získal titul majstra Československa. Športovec, ktorý mal talent na loptové hry, hrával aj hádzanú či volejbal za školu, však mal najpevnejší vzťah k futbalu.

- Najprv nastupoval v útoku, mal čuch na góly, skvelú strelu a so 178 centimetrami aj skvelo hlavičkoval. Dva roky pred ziskom titulu hrala Červená hviezda v Brne a to je moment, ktorý aj v spomienkach Buberník nazýva prelomovým. Jeho klub prehrával 0:3 a tréner Karol Borhy zakričal na Buberníka na hrote, aby sa vymenil so záložníkom Ladislavom Kačánim. Borhy sa ukázal ako dokonalý pozorovateľ.

- Buberník bol v zálohe skvelý, podobný napríklad takému Michaelovi Ballackovi či Frankovi Lampardovi. Loptu viedol neomylne, s hlavou hore a chrbtom vystretým ako pravítko. Pozeral sa neustále dopredu, smeroval k bráne, bol nesmierne gólový, v Červenej hviezde ich dal takmer 50, mnoho z nich výstavných. Ako ten v roku 1957 v derby proti Slovanu. Najprv si dal vlastný gól, podľa vlastných slov ani nechcel do druhého polčasu nastúpiť. Tá hanba! Napokon ho presvedčili a v 50. minúte prekonal legendárneho Viliama Schrojfa z 35 metrov. „Najradšej by som tam urobil kotrmelec,“ spomínal.

- Elegantní obránce či středopolař Buberník, král vzdušných soubojů, nakonec v Chile nehrál ani minutu, jeho vzpomínky na šampionát však zůstaly trvalé.

- Úspešne zastupoval na svojom poste legendárneho záložníka Svatopluka Pluskala v vo dvojici s Masopustom. Vynikal predovšetkým v hre hlavou. Účastník dvoch svetových šampionátov, bronzový medailista z ME v roku 1960.

- Bubo, ako ho kamaráti volali, bol neprekonateľný hlavičkár.A tiež basketbalová príprava, v ktorej dominoval výborný výskok. Basketbal takmer ukradol futbalu jednu z jeho legiend.

Quote:
Endre Tabák, redaktor maďarského Népsportu, mu zložil po súboji o bronz s Francúzmi poklonu. „Večne pohyblivý, skvele pracujúci, presne prihrávajúci, s dlhými krížnymi prihrávkami a aj najlepšie strieľajúci. V jednej osobe obranca i útočník. Buberník.“

This is the last Slovan player I had saved. From here on, I might post a Slovak player from here again for a long time. It was actually very complicated for me since information is very scarce, and I had difficulties with players like Obert, Karel, and Tegelhoff. There might be more information about them in the future. The Slovak language has also been a challenge for me to fully understand, since there are different ways of expressing each position. For example, the winger is called a "wide midfielder." For a moment, I thought he was some kind of full-back, until I looked at newspaper photographs showing lineups from the matches they played. Indeed, they are wingers, but not midfielders. It's not like the descriptions made them look like some kind of second striker. They always said they were glued to the line. Cases like Luknár, Soral, and Simansky are the ones I remember most.

Finally, I really found the football in Central Europe very interesting and, in my opinion, it has always been the best on the continent. One of the greatest European world champions comes from there, as do two of the most revolutionary national teams at the time. From players with incredible technique to physically strong players thanks to their sporting culture, it's very sad that many of them weren't recognized due to the war period they went through.
