Istvan Gaal

Istvan Gaal was a Hungarian soccer player. In 1970, he moved to Canada and was signed by the Kitchener Kickers. According to reports at the time, Gaal had turned down a lucrative offer from Bologna, then only six years removed from a Serie A title, to join the Kickers.

Overview

The following season John Fischer, president of the Kickers, agreed to trade him to the Toronto Hungarians. However, instead of another player, Gaal was exchanged for a soccer ball.
