[edit] Barnsley career

Istvan Ferenczi signed for Barnsley on January 31st 2007 - transfer deadline day and incidentally the same week Barnsley captured fellow Hungarian Peter Rajczi. Istvan made his Barnsley debut against Cardiff City on Friday 2nd February 2007 from the bench. He scored his first goal in the game at Southampton when he headed home a Martin Devaney cross. In the following fixture against Hull City, Istvan scored a brace. The first he slid under the keeper after a defensive error and the second a bullet header from a Brian Howard cross. Istvan carried on his impressive scoring record as he scored the winning goal against Stoke on Monday 26th February 2007. He was played through by fellow Hungarian Peter Rajczi and bent the ball round the keeper. He added his fifth goal in four starts on Saturday 3rd March, terrifically heading in a Martin Devaney cross but in a 3-1 defeat at Oakwell against Norwich City. He failed to hit the target against Sunderland the following Saturday as Barnsley lost 2-0, but scored a last minute clincher against Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday 14th March in a terrific 4-2 away win. He is a big fans favourite and has gained the nicknames Stan and Steve.
