He was tricky player, gifted technically, combined with his dangerous sprints on the flank made a extremly useful mixture. That can be seen in the fact he was called to FIFA selection which was the greatest honour at the time, but in the NT didn't play too much because of enormous number of great strikers in his time. Walter Schleger began playing football in the youth team Sparta Prague before he came to Vienna. His first game in the championship from the striker completed in 1949 for the Wiener Sport-Club. He left the Dornbacher soon moved to Vienna and Austria in 1951, where he remained until the end of his career.

The Austrian team reach the semifinals, in which in turn may play Walter Schleger. However, he does so as a defender, because the stop is a trained striker Helmut Rahn. Austria Germany subject, but proposes to place in the small final to date, the three reigning world champions Uruguay. 1958, Walter topper in part a second time with the national team at a world championship. In Sweden, the Austrians fail, however, already in the group stage, where they had drawn with Brazil, England and the Soviet Union, an especially difficult lot. At the end of his football career wins Walter Schleger three championships with the Austria en suite (1961, 1962, 1963) and can also celebrate many successes in the Cup.
