Source-derived summary

Marián Had (born 16 September 1982) is a Slovak former professional footballer who played mainly as a left back but also as a central defender.

Football career

Born in Dolný Kubín, Slovakia, Czechoslovakia, Had started his professional career in MFK Ružomberok, competing in the Slovak Super Liga. In 2004, he was sold to 1. FC Brno in the neighbouring Czech Republic, where he spent two seasons.

On 24 November 2005, Had signed with FC Lokomotiv Moscow, becoming the club's first signing ahead of the 2006 winter transfer window, which would eventually bring 11 more players to the team along with the new manager, Slavoljub Muslin. Had's recent performance for the Slovakia national team against the national team of Russia had been highly rated by the scouts of several Russian clubs, with Lokomotiv Moscow beating competitors to the signing of the player.

There, he found himself more than often injured (knee, brain concussion, broken jawbone and cheekbone).

For the 2007–08 campaign, Had joined Sporting Clube de Portugal on loan, to replace departed Rodrigo Tello and Marco Caneira. He was initially the second-choice left-back behind Ronny and, with Leandro Grimi's arrival in January 2008 on loan from A.C. Milan, he was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Paulo Bento, subsequently returning to Lokomotiv in February.

Had was again loaned in 2008–09, now to AC Sparta Prague.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Marián Had” is slovak soccer player. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Marián, Slovak and soccer, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1982, 2004, 2005, 2006—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1982-09-16. For this dossier, Marián, Slovak and soccer is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “slovak soccer player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q772895. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
