Hans Krankl was born on February 14, 1953, in Vienna, and is one of the greatest strikers in Austrian football history. He gained prominence at Rapid Vienna, where he stood out as a prolific goalscorer in the 1970s. In the 1977-78 season, he was Europe's leading scorer and won the Golden Boot.

His most famous moment came at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, when he scored two goals in a 3-2 victory over West Germany in Córdoba, a result known as the Miracle of Córdoba. After leaving Barcelona in 1981, he returned to Austrian football and, after retiring from playing, continued in the sport as a coach.
