The Donau Linz club said goodbye to Marko Varga, who died in an accident, on Wednesday evening during an extremely moving ceremony. The 26-year-old Hungarian was involved with three other vehicles in a terrible traffic accident on the A1 near Pucking. The father of the family did not survive the collision. He leaves behind a four-year-old son and his wife.
Oppressive atmosphere yesterday on the field of the Bundesliga team Donau in Kleinmünchen. It is dead quiet in the club bar “Schweindal-Wirt”, where the insults usually take place. The waitress talks about fate and that she feels very sorry for the wife and son Natan of footballer Marko Varga, who died in a tragic car accident last week while teasing. “A young person of 26 should not die so early.”
Before saying goodbye in his father’s ‘living room’, four-year-old Natan expressed a single wish: ‘I want daddy’s sweater and football boots as a souvenir.’ Thoughts of a child with infinite sadness about the loss of the person in his life, who was the sun of his life for him.
The funeral service for Marko started when it got dark on Donau-Platz. Accompanied by Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” the team walked to the center circle – Varga’s partner and Natan at the front. Everyone with candles in their hands. They stopped in front of the stage decorated with blue and yellow flowers and adorned with a sweater with the number five on the back. Marko’s parents also came from Hungary and watched the heartfelt ceremony with tears.
“You guide our team from heaven and will always be part of the Danube family,” said coach Adnan Kaltak in a distraught voice.
And when the Andreas Gabalier song “Amoi bless us again” was played, many of the 300 mourners were close to tears. And hoped that the power of football could one day ease the sadness.
