Akos Buzsaky Confirms Safety After Missing Reports

Akos Buzsaky has moved to calm growing fears over his wellbeing, confirming in a social media post that he is safe after reports in Hungary claimed he had been missing for more than a week.

On Wednesday, concern spiked in his homeland when local reports stated that police were searching for the former QPR and Hungary midfielder, with no contact having been made for several days. For a player remembered fondly at Loftus Road and across several English clubs, the news spread quickly and uneasily.

Two days later, Buzsaky broke his silence.

Posting on Facebook – a message later shared by QPR on X – the 44-year-old explained that major upheaval in his personal life had pushed him to step away from everyday routines.

“Unfortunately, in the last few months, there have been serious changes in my life that have tested me,” he wrote. “There came a moment when I felt I had to break away from these daily routines.”

That decision, he said, triggered an unexpected chain of events. His mother, unable to reach him and fearing for his safety, contacted the police after what he described as a “misunderstanding”.

Once he realised the situation had escalated into a missing person search, Buzsaky said he cut short his self-imposed retreat and immediately informed the authorities.

He then turned his message towards those who had worried about him, offering a simple but heartfelt response to the outpouring of concern.

“Thank you very much for all the concern and thoughts you have shown me,” he added. “I wish everyone a nice day, and it felt really good to receive so much love!”

For supporters, it is a reassuring update about a player who left a clear imprint on English football. Buzsaky first arrived at QPR on loan in 2007 before making the move permanent, spending five seasons at Loftus Road and becoming a popular figure with his blend of creativity and work rate.

Before and after his time in west London, he turned out for Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Barnsley, amassing 243 appearances in the UK and scoring 33 goals. A cultured midfielder with a sharp eye for goal, he built a career that earned respect in every dressing room he entered.

This week, though, the focus has not been on his free-kicks or promotion pushes, but on something far more basic and far more important: his safety.

Now, with his message public and his situation clarified, the story shifts from worry to relief – and to a reminder of how quickly the football community rallies when one of its own appears to be in trouble.
