Kálmán Konrád (23 May 1896 – 10 May 1980) was one of the best footballers[according to whom?] in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 1910s. An inside right, he played on the Hungary national team with his brother, Jenő Konrád. Kálmán, who later played for Austria, coached the Romania national team for five games in the mid-1930s.
Career
[edit]Born in Bácspalánka (Bačka Palanka), a town on the Danube River in Austria-Hungary (now part of Vojvodina, Serbia), Konrád moved to Budapest as a small child. He joined the club MTK Hungária FC in 1910 at the age of 14 and then joined the first team in the Hungarian League in 1913 at the age of 17. Konrád played for MTK from 1913 to 1919 and helped the team win the Hungarian Championship in 1914, 1917–1919 (there was no league in 1915 or 1916 because of World War I). In the three championship seasons between 1917 and 1919, MTK outscored their opponents, 376–46, and had an overall record of 60-4-2. Kálmán played in 94 games during this incredible run and scored 88 goals while a player for MTK. He was also a member of the National team, appeared in 12 games and scored two goals.
In August 1926, Kálmán was brought to the United States by Nat Agar, the owner-manager of the Brooklyn Wanderers of the American Soccer League (ASL). Kálmán's talent was so legendary[according to whom?] that Agar was forced to keep the transfer a secret until he was on his way to the U.S.[citation needed] That year, Konrád played for Brooklyn and appeared in 27 games and scored two goals. That season, he also played in the International Soccer League, a new league of American and Canadian teams. The Wanderers of the ASL participated and won the league championship with a 5–3–1 record. Konrád scored four goals while playing in every game.
After his only season in the United States, Konrád returned to Hungary and ended his playing career with MTK during the 1927–28 season. He then became a world-renowned coach and led powerful clubs such as Bayern Munich, FC Zurich, and Slavia Prague. Konrád also coached a number of teams in Sweden,[1] where he settled and lived until his death in 1980.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
