A former Premier League footballer has sparked a major police search after the ex-Queens Park Rangers star has reportedly not been seen for a week.
Hungarian midfielder Akos Buzsáky, who will be know to English football fans for playing in the top three divisions in England over his career, has reportedly gone missing.
The 44-year-old, who has since retired, made his Premier League debut with QPR in the 2011/12 season and scored two goals. He went on to play for Plymouth in the Championship before ending his career with Portsmouth in League One back in 2013.
Buzsáky also gained a major trophy by winning the 2003 Europa League with Porto and was capped 20 times for his country.
Police records in Hungary say officers have been looking to Buzsáky, who is a former Hungary international, since August 18.
According to L’Équipe in France, the mother of Buzsáky’s two children raised concerns about his whereabouts and is believed to have contacted police.
Buzsáky’s reportedly no longer lives with the mother and reportedly spends a lot of his time working aboard.
Local news outlet Blikk reached out to Buzsáky’s father about the search and learned he had not been informed of his son’s disappearance. He told the outlet that his son had since been working as construction contractor in Greece and don’t speak as often as they once did.
His dad, Ákos Buzsáky Sr, told the publication: “I didn’t know that the police were also looking for my son. He basically spends a lot of time in Greece, where he works as a construction contractor.
“He spent almost the entire last year there. Since we don’t live under the same roof, it’s not surprising that we only speak less often. The last time I spoke to him was last week, when he was at home.”
