Sándor Barcs
1912 – 2010 · 97 years
Sándor Barcs (10 November 1912 – 7 January 2010) was a Hungarian journalist, politician, sports executive and amateur footballer. He was the Acting President of UEFA between July 1972 and March 1973. In 2003, Sándor Dorogi, on behalf of the MTI news agency, presented him with the "Golden Ring" award, which met with a divided response in journalistic circles due to the honoree's not uncontroversial political past (he was, among other things, a presiding judge at the show trial and co-signer of the death sentence against László Rajk).
