István Nyers (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈiʃtvaːn ˈɲerʃ]; 25 May 1924 – 9 March 2005), also known as "Stefano Nyers", was a Hungarian footballer who played as a forward or as a winger. Although he played in only two international matches for Hungary, he is considered one of the greatest football legends of his country, reaching the peak of his career in the 1940s and 1950s.
Nyers was born in Freyming-Merlebach, Moselle, France into an immigrant Hungarian mining family; his younger brother was Ferenc Nyers. When he was 14 he moved with his family to Budapest where he started playing with III. Kerületi TUE. He will have his first official debut aged 17 and playing with Szabadkai VAC which was a Yugoslav club from Subotica that played in the Hungarian league system after the Hungarian annexation of Bačka during World War II (1941–1944). In March 1945 he played some games with Szabadkai VAC, by then with the restored name of ŽAK Subotica. In April they make a tour throughout Serbia representing Subotica. Upon their return to Subotica, a decision was made by new Yugoslav authorities to disband ŽAK and merge them with other local clubs to form FK Spartak Subotica. Njerš, as he was known in Serbian, had played and scored regularly in their games on the tour, was not in the list of ŽAK players that became part of Spartak, and he returned to Hungary. Earlier, during second half of 1944, he had played along László Kubala with Ganz-MÁVAG SE.
