Ex-Pompey Midfielder Allays Fears over Welfare After Being Reported Missing
- On Thursday, former Hungarian footballer Akos Buzsaky posted on Facebook confirming he is safe, breaking silence nearly ten days after being reported missing to authorities in Budapest.
- Hungarian police listed the 44-year-old as missing on August 18 after his mother contacted them, concerned he had withdrawn from daily life following serious personal changes over recent months.
- The former midfielder played for Queens Park Rangers , Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Barnsley throughout his career and posted that he immediately ended his retreat upon learning of the police search, thanking friends for their concern.
- Queens Park Rangers confirmed on Friday morning that Buzsaky is alive and well, though his profile remained visible on the police website despite the update indicating authorities had been informed of his safety.
- Buzsaky, who represented Hungary 20 times during his international career, has previously spoken about battles with addiction following his 2015 retirement, and his father noted he currently works as a construction contractor in Greece.
