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
