*Club domestic league appearances and goals

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

Askas as a baby

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. He fell further from both of his parents around 14, moving out and living with a friend in a small flat in Judapest while in his final years of school

Askas, following his retirement, stated he would've turned to gangs in Judapest if the club Gloria Judapest did not see his talent. This was because he felt as if it was the only way he could've made money, and due to his large, muscular physique, he would've been talented at it too. He was brought in for a first team trial 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).

Playing Career

Ferenc Askas was unreal, following the signing of his contract at aged 15, he was scoring goals almost every game he played for the club in the first year he was there. He quickly became a household name in the city as most supported the working class club that he starred for.
