Géza Turi

Géza Turi (born 11 March 1974, in Budapest) is a Hungarian former football player who is currently a goalkeeper coach for KÍ Klaksvík.

Career Whilst at Hungarian side ZTE, Turi played against Manchester United at Old Trafford in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. He came on as a substitute after Saša Ilić was sent off for a foul on Ruud van Nistelrooy. He came to the Faroe Islands to be a goalkeeper for GÍ Gøta, which merged with LÍF Leirvík in 2009 into the new club Víkingur. Géza Turi has been the goalkeeper for Víkingur Gøta and the former GÍ Gøta since 2006.

In 2019, the 45-year-old Turi signed for KÍ Klaksvík, where he worked as a goalkeepers coach, but also as the club's third-choice goalkeeper. In the build-up for a Faroe Islands Premier League match against Havnar Bóltfelag on 14 May 2023, Klaksvík's full-time keepers were both ruled off, as Markus Pettersen fell ill, while his backup Rói Hentze got injured, thus forcing Turi to make his first league appearance since June 2018, when he was 44, but despite his advanced age, he managed to keep a clean-sheet in a 1–0 victory.

Personal life He is the father of fellow footballer and Grimsby Town player Géza Dávid Turi.
