He is actually still admired in austria, especially by austria vienna fans. He was called - freely translated by me - as made of paper - because he was so skinny. But his ability to dribble and his fine technique must have been extraordinary often compared to a ballet dancer. They called him a genius on the ball.
He once got the chance to move to various english teams - for mega money back then (25k), but he decided to stay with his club austria vienna, saying something like - England got enough world-class players, they don't need another one.
Sindelar is also described as very sensible and kind person, he gave away free tickets for their matches to a lot of poor children regularly.
And he stood up against the Nazi regime - Austria Vienna is a club known for strong jewish bonds, when the nazis took over they got rid of their president and the players weren't even allowed to talk to him anymore, Sindelar did it though. He also rejected the invitation to play for the Großdeutschland-Team in the World Cup of 1938.
