István Kozma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

István Kozma was a Hungarian football player (born 3 December 1964, Paszto). He played in midfield.

He began his career at Salgotarjani TC in his native country, then moving to Újpest FC, and then to French side Bordeaux. In December 1989, he switched to Scottish team Dunfermline Athletic for £550,000.

There he became a firm fan favourite, playing 103 times and scoring 9 goals. In February 1992, he was a shock purchase for Liverpool, with Graeme Souness signing the Hungarian for £300,000. Kozma would never look like breaking into the first team. In 1991-1992 season he made 6 league appearances, two in the FA Cup and one in the League Cup. However, in 1992-1993, he would make just one appearance, as a substitute in a Premier League game, before being released in July 1993. He then returned to Újpest FC. In 1995-96 he played for APOEL Nicosia where he won with his team the Double.

Kozma played 40 times for the Hungarian national side, scoring once.
