Life
Ferenc Sas was born as the son of Leopold, who died in World War I , and Roza's son, later changed his name to Sas , Hungarian for "eagle". The Hungarianization of the name was intended to enable membership in the national team during the period of Hungarian nationalism.
The right winger Sas moved in 1934 from the Budapest amateur club Elektromos SC to the Hungária FC team, at the time the MTK Budapest name , where he was able to convince primarily through his speed and technical skills, while the duel was not one of his strengths. He played in a storm series with Pál Titkos and Wudi Müller in the team supervised by Alfréd Schaffer , which won the Hungarian championship twice in a row in 1936 and 1937 .
Sas made his national team debut in a 5-3 win over Austria in April 1936, when he formed the right side of the attack with Jenő Vincze . A few days later he scored his first goal for Hungary against Ireland . For the next two years Sas was part of the national team.
In 1937 Sas belonged to the Central European selection, which met a selection from Western Europe in a game organized by FIFA in Amsterdam . The winger scored two goals for his team's 3-1 victory after assisting György Sárosi and Silvio Piola .
In 1938 he was part of the Hungarian team trained by Alfréd Schaffer, which took part in the World Cup in France . After victories over the Dutch East Indies and Switzerland , the Hungarians were in the semi-finals against Sweden , where Sas took the opening goal to 2-1 before the game finally ended 5-1. In the final Hungary met the Italians , who had two of the best players of that era in their ranks with Silvio Piola and Giuseppe Meazza , with Sas initiating the interim 1-1 through Titkos. The game was lost 2: 4 and was the 17th and last appearance of the right winger in the national team.
In 1938, Sas left the MTK and made his debut in December in a friendly for the Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With Boca, scored 9 goals in 24 championship games in 1939 and was, along with two other players, the club's best scorer. In 1940 he won the championship with the Juniors, but was only used four times here due to the strong competition. In March 1941 he came to his last game for the Juniors in a friendly game. From 1943 he played for three seasons with the then second division club Argentinos Juniors . In 74 games he scored 12 goals there. He finished his amateur career with Macabi in Buenos Aires.
In Argentina he married his fiancée Erszebet Boszi, who had followed him from Hungary and with whom he had a son. He later worked as a trainer at Colegio David Wolfsohn and Macabi. Professionally, he also worked in the well-known clothing store Raitor , for cinemas and a jewelry store.
