Ezio Loik (26 September 1919 - 4 May 1949) was an Italian football player, who played for Torino FC as midfielder, and died in the 1949 Superga air disaster, along with the whole Grande Torino team.[1]

Biography

Loik was born in Fiume (then part of Italy, current Rijeka, Croatia). He played as a midfielder, debuting for U.S. Fiumana aged 17 in the 1936-1937 serie C tournament. After three seasons in Serie A with AC Milan, he moved to Venezia, where he obtained a third place and a Coppa Italia in 1941.[1]

He moved to Torino in 1942, where he formed a notable midfield duo with Valentino Mazzola, who had also previously played for Venezia.[1]

With the Grande Torino side, Loik won five consecutive Serie A scudetti and one further Coppa Italia (1942–1943), until dying with most of the team in the Superga air disaster near Turin, in May 1949, which also made up much of the Italian national team at the time.[1]

Loik was also capped nine times for the Italy national football team between 1942 and 1949, scoring four goals.[2]
