Václav Drobný (9 September 1980 – 28 December 2012) was a Czech footballer who notably played for Sparta Prague having spent time in their youth team as well as spells at Czech, Slovakian, French and German sides.

Career
Club career
Drobný played for FK Jablonec nad Nisou 97 (on loan from Sparta) during the first half of the 2005–06 season, RC Strasbourg, Chmel Blšany and Sparta Prague. He also spent the 2004–05 season on loan at English team Aston Villa,[2] in the Premier League. The move was not a success for the defender however, who left having failed to make a single first team appearance for the claret and blue.
Drobný left Strasbourg in 2005 to join Sparta Prague, before having spells at Jablonec 97, Augsburg and FC Spartak Trnava. He was released by the latter in 2009. However, the following year Drobný signed for Bohemians Praha. The defender made his debut for the club in a 3–2 victory away at Slovan Liberec on 20 March 2010. He played eighty minutes for his new club before being replaced by Martin Horacek.
International career
Drobný was the captain of the under-21 Czech Republic team and debuted for the senior team against Japan – though he failed to secure a spot in Euro 2004. The defender won two international caps.
Death
He died while bobsleighing at the ski resort Špindlerův Mlýn. He skidded off-piste and crashed into a tree.[3]
