Info:

He made his football debut in 1932, playing for Dynamo (České Budějovice), where he spent four seasons.

His performance with this team attracted the attention of the Sparta Prague coaching staff, which he joined in 1937. He played for the Prague team for the next six seasons of his playing career. During this time, he won the Czechoslovak championship twice.

He subsequently played for Pardubice, Nusle, and Český Karlín from 1943 to 1946.

He finished his professional playing career with Dynamo (České Budějovice), the team for which he had previously played. He joined the team in 1946 and played until his retirement from professional football in 1948.

He won three championships with Sparta Prague, in the 1937/1938, 1938/1939, and 1943/1944 seasons.

148 matches - 97 goals (7 in Pilsen, 81 in Sparta, 3 in Pardubice, 2 in Karlín and 4 with SK ČB)

Spoiler: show
- Toho kniha Železná Sparta charakterizuje jako hráče rychlého, rvavého, snaživého, nezištného. "Uměl vtipně a jemně přihrávat, měl tah na bránu, měl čich na góly. Jeho hra nebyla líbivá a efektivní, zato byla účelná a jednoduchá. Jeho erbovním heslem byla dělnost a skromnost." Zeman ale na diváky nic nedal - hrál svůj fotbal v rudém dresu nastřílel 155 branek, z toho 78 ligových.

- Po válce Zemanovu kariéru v železné Spartě ukončilo předčasné zranění. Při pouťáku v Mělníku (13:1) šel sám na bránu, místo střely obcházel brankáře, ten mu padl pod nohy - a skončilo to přetrženými vazy v kotníku. Noha šla do sádry, ale bylo třeba, aby hrál, tak nastoupil, pak zase sádra a tak dokola. Sparta ho nakonec půjčila do Nuslí, pak zachraňoval Pardubice, ale srdce ho táhlo zpět do domů do Českých Budějovic.
