History

[edit]

Based inLiepāja, FK Liepājas Metalurgs, got their name from the city'smetallurgical factory, founded in 1882, the only one of its kind in theBaltic states.

The history of the club can be traced back to 1945 when two football clubs were founded in Liepāja – Daugava Liepāja and Dinamo Liepāja.

Daugava Liepāja and Dinamo Liepāja: 1945–1947

[edit]

In its debut season Daugava Liepāja were runners-up in the Latvian league behind the championsFK Dinamo Rīga. In 1946 Daugava were coached by formerOlimpija Liepāja defenderKārlis Tīls and with one of the best former Olimpija playersErnests Ziņģis in the attack the team won its first Latvian title. BothValdis Pultraks andVoldemārs Sudmalis were in the squad. Daugava won the title again in 1947 when the squad includedMiervaldis Drāznieks who went on to score 160 goals in the Latvian league. Daugava Liepāja also won theLatvian Cup in 1946 and 1947.

Dinamo Liepāja did not play in the Latvian top league. However, in 1948 Dinamo won theLatvian Cup with future Liepāja playerŽanis Zviedris in the team.

Sarkanais Metalurgs: 1949–1961

[edit]

In 1949 Daugava Liepāja and Dinamo Liepāja merged to form Sarkanais Metalurgs which, for the next decade, was the strongest club in the Latvian league. In 1949, Sarkanais Metalurgs won both the league and the Latvian Cup. More titles followed in 1951, 1953, 1954, and from 1956 to 1958. They also won the Latvian Cup three times in a row from 1953 to 1955. In 1954 after beatingDaugava Rīga in a match for the chance to play in the Soviet League a united Daugava-Metalurgs club was formed which included six Metalurgs players. In 1954, they competed in the "USSR Class B 1954, 2nd zone" of theSoviet First League the second tier in Soviet football.[1] In the Latvian league the Metalurgs team was made up of mostly the reserve squad. In 1956 Daugava did not include the Metalurgs name in the Soviet League. In 1960 Sarkanais Metalurgs were given a place in the Soviet league and continued playing in the league under various names until 1990.[2] In 1961, the club played asLMR Liepāja.

Zvejnieks Liepāja: 1962–1989

Also if Daugava players needed to have match practice they were sent to Liepāja. In the Soviet league Zvejnieks were usually a mid-table club. With the club playing in the Soviet and not the local league, players from otherRepublics of the Soviet Union came to play for Zvejnieks. In the 1960s, defenderMārtiņš Lube was the club's captain.Jurijs Romaņenkovs who went on to become the club's coach in 1989–90 played for Zvejnieks in the 1970s.
