Camillo Jerusalem


Camillo Jerusalem was an Austrian footballer who played as a midfielder or forward. He played for Austria Wien, Sochaux, Roubaix-Tourcoing, Colmar, Besançon and Servette. He also coached Grenchen.
On 15 May 1938, Aston Villa's match against a German Select XI was played in marked contrast to the England game the day before with continual jeering and whistling. When Alex Massie fouled Jerusalem, the referee needed to separate the teams. Hostility from the 110,000 crowd intensified when the Villa players left the pitch without the required Nazi salute and Joseph Goebbels was called to suppress subsequent hostile German press coverage.
