Ferenc Askas was a Lyonheimerish footballer and philanthropist, who is widely regarded to be one of the greatest to ever do it. Askas had an exceptional eye for goal and a shot that would scare any goalkeeper. Scoring 583 goals in 561 professional appearances in the Lyonheimer Premiera Bajnoki for Spartak Pyor as well as 72 goals in 73 senior caps for the Lyonheimer Mens National Team. Some say, without injury, his career would have been one of the greatest ever
Early Life
Born in Judapest, the capital of Lyonheimer to his Lyonheimerish mother Helel and Gavrilian father Jose, Askas was said to have a natural footballing ability from the youngest age. The boy, according to his mother Helel, was a charismatic, polite young 'gentlemen' during his early teenage years. The boy was not very academic, failing in seemingly all subjects, except from business studies, which he finished in the top 3% in the country for. His father used to punish him when he got bad grades on his tests, harshly beating him at times when he felt necessary.
Askas, following his retirement, stated he would've turned to gangs in Judapest if the club Gloria Judapest did not see his talent. He was brought into the first team at a young age, 15, and became the youngest scorer in Premiera Bajnoki history. He was offered a professional contract by the club following his debut goal, and became a full-time player for the club, earning 5,000 fornits a week ($10).
