The Hungarian who had a long stint in England played for top flight teams like Tottenham, Sunderland and Manchester City.
He also had spells with Stoke, Coventry, Leicester, Ipswich and West Brom during his time in England.


In February 2013, Fulop had a tumor removed from his arm, but vowed to return to football within months.

“I am sure that after a few months I will be ready both physically and mentally to continue playing football,”he said, as quoted by BBC Sport.

However, two years after, the Hungarian football federation posted a message on its official website on Thursday, November 12, confirming Fulop’s death and“expressing its deep sympathy on behalf of the Hungarian football family.”


Following the confirmation of his (Fulop) death, tributes have continued to trickle in from clubs and former teammates of the Hungarian.
