Miroslav Široký was born January 21, 1885 and passed away on October 8, 1872.  He began his football career with Sparta Prague where he played from 1903 until 1906.  That year he made the switch to crosstown rivals Slavia Prague where he stayed until 1913.  He finished off his career with one season at Viktoria Žižkov.  His best time as a footballer was at Slavia, and he was rewarded with his one and only cap against England on June 13, 1908 at Letná Stadium in Prague.  His only cap was not a time for celebration as England ran away 4-0 winners.  According to www.englandstats.com, all players for Bohemia (as referenced by the Czech FA), came from Slavia Prague.

In 1911 he won the European  Amateur Cup with Slavia Prague
