Apollo Remembers – 20 Years On

Apollo Limassol honored the memory of Gábor Zavadszki, who passed away on January 6, 2006, 20 years ago. Zavadszki played for the team from 2005, having previously played for Ferencváros, MTK Budapest, and Dunafer. He initially played as an attacking midfielder but was converted to a libero at the request of coach Bernd Stange, contributing to the team's avoidance of relegation. Despite limited playing time the following season, he stood out for his ethics and professionalism. As a sign of respect, the number '7' worn by Zavadszki has been retired by Apollo. The team describes him as a smiling child and pledges that his memory will live on.
