Krisztián Tímár (born 4 October 1979) is a Hungarian footballer who plays as a Centre back for Siófok. Born in Budapest, he has played in Nemzeti Bajnokság I for Videoton, Nyíregyháza Spartacus, Ferencváros and his present club, and the Football League for Plymouth Argyle and Oldham Athletic. Tímár was capped four times by the Hungary national team.
Timár began his career with Ferencváros in 1995 before having two-year spells with MTK Hungária and BKV Előre. He spent the next four-years with four clubs in two countries before returning to his first club, Ferencváros. In early January 2007 his form for them attracted interest from Plymouth Argyle and he signed on loan for the Pilgrims for the remainder of the 2006–07 season, with compatriot Péter Halmosi. He made a great start to his loan period with a debut goal in the 2–2 draw with Wolves at Molineux.
The duo impressed and they both joined the club permanently in May 2007. During his time with the club Timár has built up a cult following, with his no-nonsense approach and 100% commitment endearing him greatly to the Argyle supporters who nicknamed him "The Beast" or "The Timarnator". Timár was voted as the club's Player of the Year for the 2007–08 season in April 2008 before he suffered an horrific head injury in the final game of the season at Wolves. He signed a new three-year contract, with the option of a fourth, in July 2008.
