István Ferenczi (born 14 September 1977 in Győr, Győr-Moson-Sopron) is a Hungarian international football striker, currently playing for Vasas SC. He is a 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) target man standing. He has scored goals in a number of countries including England, Turkey, Germany and his native Hungary.
Ferenczi signed for Barnsley on 31 January 2007 – the transfer deadline day and incidentally the same week Barnsley captured fellow Hungarian Péter Rajczi. He made his Barnsley debut against Cardiff City on 2 February 2007 from the bench. Ferenczi scored his first goal in the game at Southampton when he headed home a Martin Devaney cross. In the following fixture against Hull City, Ferenczi scored a brace, the first he slid under the keeper after a defensive error and the second a bullet header from a Brian Howard cross. Ferenczi carried on his impressive scoring record as he scored a goal supplied by Péter Rajczi and beat Stoke City on 26 February 2007. This game was shown live on Sky Sports 1.
He added his fifth goal in four starts on 3 March, after terrifically heading in a Martin Devaney cross. Although Barnsley lost 1–3 Oakwell against Norwich City in that match. He failed to hit the target against Sunderland the following Saturday as Barnsley lost 2–0, but scored a last minute clincher against Plymouth Argyle on 14 March in a terrific 4–2 away win. He was a big hit with the fans in South Yorkshire and gained the nickname Stan.
