Biography

[edit]

Knoflíček grew up in Šardice in Hodonín District and also holds a Bolivian passport.^[4] In 1988, he and compatriot Luboš Kubík defected to England from a training camp in West Germany. In January 1989, they attempted to sign for Derby County as free agents and were presented as new signings by the club's then-owner, the Czechoslovak-born Robert Maxwell, during a match against Southampton. However, both players were still under contract with Slavia Prague, who refused to allow the players to transfer.^[5] The following year, Knoflíček transferred to FC St. Pauli, making his league debut in a 2–1 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach with a goal in the 88th minute.^[6]

At international level, he participated at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.^[7] His final appearance was a friendly match against Austria in August 1992, whom Czechoslovakia faced with at the 1990 World Cup.^[8]
