Weisz, Árpád. Footballer. Born in Solt, Hungary. As well as Hungary, he also played for Czechoslovakia and Italy. He was part of the Hungarian squad in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. A serious injury later cut short his playing career, but he continued as a coach. In 1944, he and his family were arrested, and all perished in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
