Stories about his skills are still a source of pride for Rapid București supporters. Hundreds of thousands read Finala se joacă azi ("The final is played today") or Glasul roților de tren ("Voice of the train wheels"), written by Ioan Chirilă, an important Romanian sports writer, in which Barátky plays a central role.
