Before the start with the away game at the Vienna Wanderers takes place on Saturday, the semi-finalist landed a transfer coup with Samuel Hackl. Although only 25 years old, the native of Hollabrunn, who moved the center of his life to Upper Austria to study, is already in third place in the all-time best home run list of the Bundesliga. Last year, the national player, who goes by the nickname “Homerun Hackl”, managed ten. “The lads welcomed me with open arms. I’m really looking forward to the season,” said Hackl. The Czech Jiri Vavrusa also moved to Attnang.
With the Canadian Dave Burns, an Austrian legend hung up his glove after 17 Bundesliga seasons and 250 games. At the end of his career, the 47-year-old, two-metre tall man had made a dream come true: he played in a Bundesliga match with his 18-year-old son Parker. “Dave was and always will be a free spirit. He not only wrote his own history, but also shaped generations of players,” said Athletics boss Sebastian Libiseller.
