Ákos Buzsáky (born May 7, 1982) is a Hungarian footballer, playing in midfield for Plymouth Argyle since January 21, 2005.

[edit] Biography

Buzsáky initially joined Argyle on loan from FC Porto until the end of the 2004/05 season. The former Hungarian Under-21 international captain impressed Bobby Williamson during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Torquay United and was consequently signed as a regular player. Buzsáky had joined Porto under José Mourinho for £400,000 from MTK Hungária FC in July 2002, and was loaned out to Portuguese Superliga side Academica de Coimbra in 2003-04. He had been playing for Porto's 'B' side in the Portuguese third division prior to joining Argyle. He produced a series of excellent performances towards the end of the season and this led to the board spending around £225,000 to make his move permanent, offering him a three-year contract. So far he has scored six goals for Plymouth Argyle in 51 appearances (including cup games) and achieved 3 full international caps since joining the club. Over the past season, he has established himself as a firm fans favourite, for his noted skill and politeness off the pitch. On the last day of his loan spell with Argyle, fans held up paper signs that read "Mr Chairman sign Akos now!" and "Buy Akos, Buy Akos!". He has remained an Argyle player ever since despite being linked with West Bromwich Albion and Bolton Wanderers. After scoring 3 goals in January, "Buz" was named one of the players of the month by the ITV programme "the championship" for January 2007.
