Leo Baumgartner (14 March 1932 - 17 November 2013) was an Austrian-Australian football player and coach. He represented both Austria and Australia in non-official matches.[1][2][3][4]

Playing career

After playing youth football with Rapid Vienna and Kapfenberger SV, Baumgartner began his senior career with FK Austria. Between 1953 and 1958, Baumgartner played 69 times for the team from Vienna.[5][6]

In 1957, Baumgartner toured Australia with FK Austria, playing a large part in the Austrian team winning nine of eleven matches.[1] The following year, he and team-mate Karol Jaros were signed by Sydney team Prague without a transfer fee being paid to FK Austria. A complaint by the club led to the Australian Soccer Association being fined and suspended by FIFA over a series of similar transfer infractions.[7][8][9]
