Zoltan Liptak

Zoltan Liptak (born 10 December 1984) is a Hungarian footballer who is playing for Gyirmot FC Gyor.

Club Career

He had a trial with League One side Huddersfield Town in January 2007, but the supposed end-of-season loan transfer collapsed mysteriously. In July 2007, he had a trial with Southend United, recently relegated into League One. Manager Steve Tilson said he desperately wanted to sign the 6' 4" defender after impressing in a friendly against Witham Town. The permanent signing of Liptak was completed on 24 July 2007 from Hungarian second division side Lombard-Papa TFC for a fee of £52,000.

Liptak was sent on loan to Stevenage Borough on 22 November 2007 for one month and made his debut in front of the Setanta Sports cameras against Altrincham in the 2–1 win on 26 November 2007. He joined Ujpest FC in June 2008. In February 2009, he signed for Championship team Southampton on loan until the end of the season. He made his first appearance for Southampton against Preston North End when they won 3–1. The loan was terminated at the end of April 2009. He has had the honour of winning the Essex Senior Cup with Southend, in which he scored a dubious goal for the Shrimpers in the final against Chelmsford City.
