Rudolf Cvek (17 October 1946 – 27 November 2005) was a Croatian football player.
Club career
A native of
NK Dinamo Zagreb in 1965. In the following five seasons between 1965 and 1970 Cvek appeared in 112 Yugoslav First League matches for the Blues and helped them win the 1969 Yugoslav Cup and the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the greatest achievement in club's history (although he did not appear in the final against Leeds United
).
His career was cut short by a meniscus injury he picked up in the 1969–70 European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final away match against Schalke 04, from which he never fully recovered and which forced the talented defender to retire in 1970 at just 24 years of age.
