Our history - Football Players Agency


Békeffy Jenő was born on 28th May 1935 in Budapest. He was one of the first and most successful UEFA football manager in Europe.

Jenő Békeffy started playing football in 1941 with some guys from his district. He was only six years old when he knew that football was much more than just a game. Each time the ball reached his feet, a new world opened up before him – a world where war and deprivation were replaced by hope, joy and freedom. For his family, football was an escape from reality. When Jenő joined the youth team of Monori SzSe, he became the pride of the village. Over the next five years, playing as a midfielder, he racked up success after success. He and his team won championships and remained undefeated, a joy and pride rare in this war-torn country. In 1947, at the age of twelve, Jenő was admitted to the Kecskemét Reformed High School, where he continued his career in the Kecskemét TE youth team for six years. After the World War, Jenő Kovács became president of the football department of the city.

The 1956 Hungarian revolution was a turning point in Békeffy’s life and he decided to change his fortune forever. After mastering his skills at Honvéd FC for two years, he emigrated to Holland in 1956 along with fellow football players Miklos Todor and Bandi Béres. Later, Béres became well-known as the trainer of Beerschot and afterwards, the coach of Anderlecht.

József Veréb founded the 1956 hungarian refugee football team in Zurich Zee “Hungária FC”

The emigration following the ’56 revolution also affected Hungarian football. However, footballers fleeing reprisals in Western Europe joined forces and dazzled their new fans with a game reminiscent of the golden age of the hungarian football. 

In fact, the Dutch football coach was none other than József Veréb, who immigrated to the Netherlands after World War II, and when the wave of Hungarian refugees arrived in ’56, he thought he would not let the world’s best footballers disperse. He visited refugee camps in Austria and recruited football players. 

At that time, there was no question of official player signings, as the Hungarian Football Association banned all footballers who fled abroad from playing for one year. However, József Veréb was not discouraged by this, he created a Hungarian refugee team and had them play with the best dutch clubs in friendly matches.
