Biography

In 1956 Straume joined Daugava Rīga - the club for which he played until the end of his footballer career. However in 1957 he had to serve in the Soviet Army and also played with FK Dinamo Rīga with which he together with future Daugava players Georgijs Smirnovs and Georgijs Gusarenko won the Latvian Cup. Straume was a very hard working defender with one ambition - to play in the Soviet Top League. From 1960 to 1962 his ambition came to life as Daugava competed with the best football clubs in the country and Straume got to play against forwards of European class. From 1956 to 1966 he played in 308 matches with Daugava and scored one goal.
