    Marian Masny was Slovakian, not Czech player. Slovak-born with Slovak parents, playing in Slovak clubs (majoring in Slovan Bratislava), except for 1 year in Austria in the end of career. In historical context, he played for Czechoslovakia.

    Also midfielder Andrej Kvasnak was ethnically Slovak (born in Kosice to Slovak parents), and formed as football player in Kosice, where he has played for VSS Kosice (1958 – 1959). Then he moved to Sparta Prague where he became legend. More correctly he should be presented as player of Czechoslovakia.

    Viliam Schrojf was of course Czech (Prague-born, to Czech parents), keep his nationality as it is in the current status. He has played in major in Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia), but his blood was Czech.

    Jan Kozak is ethnically Slovak (born to both Slovak parents in eastern Slovakia), not Czech. He has played vast major (15 seasons) in Lokomotiva Kosice (Slovakia), except for military service times in Dukla Prague, and in France in the end of career.
