Before Krisztián Németh, the Wizards had high hopes for Hungarian forward Zoltán Hercegfalvi
The last time Sporting Kansas City (the Wizards still) played a team from St Louis was in April of 2010 when they played a home and home series against short lived AC St Louis. One of the promising forwards on the squad was Hungarian Zoltán Hercegfalvi. The Wizards won that match 2-1 on goals from Santiago Hirsig and Zoltán.
Zoltan had joined the Wizards in late July of 2009 on loan from Budapest Honvéd FC. He made his first appearance in a match versus Chicago on August 16th, Peter Vermes' first match as interim head coach.
