From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomáš Jun, (born 17 January 1983) is a Czech footballer currently playing for the AC Sparta Praha.
He joined Sparta Prague's youth team as a nine year old in 1992. He was an important member of the Sparta and national youth teams. He won silver at the 2000 UEFA under-17 European Championship and scored seven goals in the tournament. He also helped them to win the 2002 UEFA under-21 European Championship. In 2004/05 he was the top scorer for Sparta Prague as they won the league championship. In February that season, he scored his first goal for the full national team. Jun's most important goal of his career came in the final group match of 2006 World Cup Qualification, scoring the first goal against Finland as a starting replacement for the injured Jan Koller and Vratislav Lokvenc. The win allowed the Czech Republic to advance to the playoff stage against Norway. In summer 2005 he joined Trabzonspor of Turkey but failed to score a single goal. He struggled to make even substitute appearances at Beşiktaş, which has led to his omission from the Czech Republic squad for the 2006 World Cup. For 2006/2007 season he returned to Sparta Prague, but as of November 2006, even there he does not play regularly.
