Doctors have been able to help the daughter of the Czechoslovakian legend in the past, but the disease has metastasized and her condition has recently deteriorated. As Panenko’s former teammates have stated, the author of the legendary Vršovice dlobák took the suffering of a family member very hard.
The 1976 European champion and legend of Bohemka Prague, of which he is president, told reporters in late summer this year that his daughter’s condition was good and that she had come to see him.
