Nevertheless, in public use the name has always just been Lask.

   The biggest success was the winning of the Austrian Championship 1965, which no club outside of Vienna had won before; additionally, in 1965 Lask won the Cup.
   In 1997, due to public pressure, LASK Linz officially merged with the city rival FC Linz (formerly known as SK VOEST Linz), which, however, resulted in the cancellation of the FC Linz, named as merger by politicians. Clubname, colors, chairmen and members remained the same.
