Ferenc Deak
Ferenc Deák
b. 1803 - d. 1876
Politician, Minister of Justice of the first Hungarian Government, the main organiser of the Austrian-Hungarian Compromise
He came of a medium-landowner family from Zala county. His mother died at his birth, his father died early too. First, he was bred by relatives, later by his elder brother and sister. Between 1817 and 1821 he studied law and philosophy in Gyôr. From 1821 he worked as an articled clerk in Pest, he qualified as lawyer in 1823.
He worked as a county solicitor, as a clerk of the chancery, as a chairman of the chancery, and a judge of the County Court. In 1832 he temporarily substituted his brother, Antal, the Lord Lieutenants Deputy, who was then elected a parlimentary delegate. When his brother resigned from his post of a delegate in 1833, Ferenc was sent into the parliament instead of him (1832 36).

For Hungarians who enjoy a good football (soccer) match the mention of the name Puskás Ferenc, whom most prefer to speak of as "Öcsi" (meaning "little brother"), is as if one were to speak of Pele to a Brazilian. Though this living legend of a football player is now seventyfive, his youthfull attitude about life, and game he was born into, is one to be admired. Football lovers think only the greatest of this humble, honest and rather simple man. Öcsi, or as the Spanish affectionately have called him, Pancho, was born in Budapest in an area of the city called Kispest, which is celebrating its 80th year as an official part of greater Budapest. For Öcsi Kispest ("Little Pest"), was where he spent his early childhood years running in the fields and kicking the ball. Puskás Ferenc
World Renown Soccer Champion
Born: April 2, 1927 - November 17, 2006
"As a child I never had dreamt of being anything when I would grow up...I just knew I was born to be a football player ...however, my father, who was a serious football player, did not have any direct influence on my wanting to become a football player...I just grew up in a neighborhood of kids, friends, whose passion was playing ball."
