13 (1) |Yanko Daucik Ciboch (born
Prague ,Czechoslovakia ,March 22 1941 ) was a professional footballer during the 1960s and 1970s. Yanko played forReal Betis ,Real Madrid , theToronto Falcons andRCD Español . Daucik is the son ofFerdinand Daučík , the veteranLa Liga manager who moved his family toSpain in 1950.Daucik made his
La Liga debut forReal Betis on September 11 1960 in a game againstRCD Mallorca . His father was the Betis manager at the time. Yanko scored 14 goals in 38La Liga appearances for Betis, attracting the interest ofReal Madrid who signed him in 1962. However he faced stiff competition from the likes ofAlfredo Di Stéfano ,Francisco Gento ,Ferenc Puskás andAmancio Amaro and during two seasons at Real he only played 10La Liga games and scored just 3 goals. He subsequently became one of the first Spanish footballers to play inNorth America when he played forToronto Falcons of the National Professional Soccer League. This proved to something of a family reunion as Yanko was joined at the club by his father Ferdinand, brother-in-lawLadislao Kubala and nephewBranko Kubala . During the 1967 season Yanko played 25 games, scored 20 goals and made 8 assists for the Falcons and finished as top scorer in the league.ources
