Attila Ambrus, aka the "Whiskey Robber," behind glass,
in prison in Satoraljuahely, Hungary, June, 2003.

 



Attila Ambrus, arguably the worst hockey goalie in the
history of the sport, once gave up 23 goals in a single
game as goaltender of Hungary's formerly vaunted UTE
pro club. He lived a double life throughout the 1990s as
both a pro goalie for UTE, Budapest's best-known team,
and as the "Whiskey Robber," Eastern Europe's
most infamous bandit.
