Gábor Gyepes

Ferencváros

Gyepes was born in Budapest. He began his career at Ferencváros in his home country. As a youngster in the club's youth system he played in all outfield positions, including scoring 20 times in his last 16 games during his final year in the youth side. He made his first team debut in 1999 and went on to establish himself in the side over the following years, including playing in the Champions League qualifiers and then the UEFA Cup.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

In July 2005, Gyepes joined Football League Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers initially on loan from Ferencváros after impressing during a trial week. He made his debut for the club on 23 August 2005 in a 5–1 League Cup rout of Chester City. He became a regular fixture at centre back during the season, partnering Joleon Lescott, and his move was made permanent when he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract in December 2005 for £400,000. This deal later led to an FA charge against Gyepes' agent for improper practice. However, he ruptured cruciate knee ligaments on 25 March 2006, during a 3–1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday and underwent surgery to repair the injury and was told that he would never play football again. This injury ruled him out of the whole of the following season, despite making a reserve appearance in February 2007. After suffering a further setback, it was reported that his contract with Wolves had been terminated by mutual consent in April 2007 so Gyepes could…

Gyepes made his debut for Hungary in 2002 and played 22 times in the following three years. However his knee injury sustained while playing for Wolves meant he fell out of favour. In March 2009, his form playing for Cardiff saw him receive his first call up in three years for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Malta.
