László Kiss (born 12 March 1956) is an Hungarian footballer coach and former forward.
Laszlo Kiss
Kiss was born at Taszár. He played for the Hungary national team in the 1982 World Cup, where he gained notability after becoming the first substitute player to score three goals in a World Cup match.
Miklós Fehér (20 July 1979 — 25 January 2004) was an Hungarian footballer, who played as a striker.
Fehér died of a sudden cardiac death during a match between Vitória de Guimarães and his team of Benfica in Guimarães, Portugal.
Fehér’s sister is a Hungarian / Spanish model Orsi Fehér.
Fehér started his playing career at Győri ETO FC, where he was spotted by F.C. Porto scouts. He was signed in 1998 but never really made a breakthrough onto the team. Relatively young, he was loaned to gain experience, to another two northern sides, S.C. Salgueiros and Sporting de Braga.
At Braga, Fehér had his best professional season, netting 14 goals in 26 matches in 2000–01. After Porto chairman Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa quarreled with agent José Veiga (Fehér’s agent), Fehér refused to let go of his agent and left. He joined Lisbon side S.L. Benfica, going on to score seven goals in 29 matches during two seasons.

Death
On 25 January 2004, Benfica traveled to Guimarães to play Vitória de Guimarães. The game was being broadcast live on television, and Benfica were leading 1–0. Fehér had just come on as a substitute. He assisted another player brought from the bench, Fernando Aguiar, for the match’s only goal, but received a yellow card in injury time and suddenly bent forward, seemingly in pain. He then fell backwards to the ground.
Teammates rushed immediately to aid Fehér before medical personnel arrived on the pitch. CPR was performed as players looked on in visible distress. An ambulance arrived on the pitch and Fehér was rushed to the hospital. His condition was covered by the Portuguese media throughout the day. However, before midnight, Fehér’s death was confirmed. The cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia, brought on by Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
In his memory, Benfica retired the number 29 shirt, which he wore during his time at the club. He was remembered by many and his death caused a profound shock in Portuguese sports. Among others, Reinaldo Teles (director of football of Porto) and José Mourinho (Porto’s manager at the time) paid their respects at the Estádio da Luz, where the player’s body remained before his burial in his native Hungary.
A club delegation, which included the entire squad, traveled to Hungary, presenting Fehér’s parents with the 2004–05 league championship medal, in respect for the player and his time with the club.
On 9 October 2009, the day before their World Cup qualifier against Portugal in Lisbon, the Hungarian national team squad laid a wreath next to a metal bust of Feher at Benfica’s homeground Estádio da Luz,, in tribute to his memory.
