Ákos Buzsáky (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈaːkoʃ ˈbuʒaːki]; born May 7, 1982) is a Hungarian footballer who plays as a midfielder. He currently plays for English side Queens Park Rangers.

[edit] Club career

Buzsáky started his career at GRUND 1986 FC after that he continued MTK Hungária FC, and joined Porto under José Mourinho for £400,000 in July 2002. He was later 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 signing for English side Plymouth Argyle.

Buzsáky joined Plymouth on loan until the end of the 2004-05 season after the former Hungarian Under-21 international captain impressed manager Bobby Williamson during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Torquay United.^{[citation needed]} 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!".^{[citation needed]} This led to the board spending around £225,000 to make his move permanent, offering him a three-year contract.^{[citation needed]}

He was a first team regular for Plymouth, and his form resulted in him being linked with West Bromwich Albion and Bolton Wanderers. After scoring 3 goals in the month, he was named one of the players of the month by the ITV programme "The Championship" for January 2007.

In October 2007 Buzsáky informed Plymouth he would not sign a new contract when his ran out in the summer, allegedly due to Plymouth's refusual to pay a fee to his agent. He was subsequently loaned to Queens Park Rangers, and the move was made permanent on January 2 2008 for an undisclosed fee (believed to be £500,000^{[citation needed]}). Buzsaky signed a 2 1/2 year Contract.^[1] Akos Buzsaky is fast becoming a QPR legend and his performances this season have won significant praise from his manager and fans alike

On 2 January 2008, QPR announced that they had signed Akos permanently, with his contract running until the summer of 2010, with great relief for the fans.^[2] However, in December 2009, following the 3-1 defeat away to Watford, it was reported that he was involved in a confrontation with manager Jim Magilton, where it was reported that Ákos Buzsáky was assaulted by Magilton. This led to Magilton being suspended by QPR.^[3]
