Antonín Puč (16 May 1907 in Jinonice – 18 April 1988 in Prague) was a former Czech football player, the all-time leading scorer for the Czechoslovak national team.
Puč's international career lasted from 1926 to 1939; in that time, he played 61 matches for Czechoslovakia, scoring 35 goals. He played for Czechoslovakia in the 1934 World Cup scoring two goals, including one in the final, a 2-1 loss against Italy, and also played in the 1938 edition.[1] Puč spent most of his club career with Slavia Prague.[2]
After the split of the country into the Czech Republic and Slovakia and the corresponding national teams, Jan Koller surpassed Puč's record in 2005. He died in 1988 aged 80.
