In Memoriam
November 12:
— Former Kispest left winger and amateur international Lajos Kürthy passed away 88 years ago.
Kürthy was an exceptionally unfortunate footballer. In a match against Budafok, his boot blistered his foot, and the resulting wound led to fatal blood poisoning. Kispest thus lost a gifted and promising outside left. Despite his short career, he quickly captured the hearts of the supporters. As a contemporary tribute put it: "No footballer has ever captured the audience's hearts in such a short time as Lajos Kürthy."
— Former Bp. Honvéd defender Zoltán Dudás passed away 37 years ago at the age of 56. He made 185 league appearances in a Honvéd jersey and earned two caps for the Hungarian senior national team.
During his Kispest career, he won three league silver medals and one bronze. He lifted the Mitropa Cup in 1959 and the Hungarian People's Republic Cup in 1964. As a member of the Hungarian national team, he claimed a bronze medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics.
— Former Kispesti AC forward Alajos Stallmach passed away 63 years ago. In Kispest colors, he made 86 league appearances and scored 10 goals. He was a member of the 1919/1920 league runners-up side and the 1926 Hungarian Cup-winning squad.
