György Orth - Arguably the most complete, versatile, and greatest player ever produced. A true work of art painted by the most skilled painter. Those who have ever seen Orth play often said that this godly player possesed technical abilities that were comparable to Pelé's, Maradona's and Messi's.
"The Greatest Footballer of All Time? György Orth! Neither among the English of the Peace nor among the players of any other nationality after the war did I find a footballer as great,as absolute, as intelligent, as György Orth." ALFRÉD BRÜLL, FORMER MTK'S PRESIDENT
"you know, football players like Pepi Blum or Kada, for example, we're each other - but like Gyuri Orth, they weren't yet and I don't know if another one will be born" FRITZ GSCHWEIDL
"György Orth is the greatest footballer of all time. Gyuri Orth knew. He did it all." BÉLA SZEPES, FORMER ATHLETE 1984
Jimmy Hogan saw a lot of players from various countries. He was also the one who discovered Orth and coached him. Partly because he was snubbed by the English FA for working in countries when they were at war with Britain, Hogan also tended to talk up Central European footballers at the expense of their British counterparts.
