Matts Kunding was an Irish footballer in the early part of the 20th century. A left-midfielder, Kunding was one of the first Irish professional footballers to play on the continent.[citation needed] He reputedly played with Torino and Juventus.[1]
Club career
Although an Irishman, Kunding played his entire brief career in Turin in Italy. He signed for Torino in 1909, making his debut in the Turin Derby against Juventus, winning the game 3-1 at the Velodrome Humbert I. He played in Torino's midfield alongside Englishman Arthur Rodgers. That season, Torino finished fourth in Serie A.
The next season, he moved to Torino's rivals Juventus and played with the club for the 1910–1911 season. He joined an increasingly international Juventus side, playing as the only Irishman in a team then dominated by Swiss players.[citation needed] He made his debut in a 1-1 draw against Piedmont Football Club on 27 November 1910. After playing in a 2-0 win over Andrea Doria, Kunding was later dropped after a poor showing in a 0-2 home defeat to AC Milan.[citation needed] His last game for Juventus came in a 3-0 defeat to Genoa on 19 March 1911, with the team finishing in last place in Serie A.[citation needed]
