László Takács (born April 18, 1955) is a Hungarian retired footballer. He played as a left-back and midfielder for Ferencvárosi TC and ESMTK throughout the 1970s and the 1980s.
Career as a player Emerging from the youth sector of Ferencvárosi TC, Takács was a part of the youth championship winning squad following an 11-year drought. This success saw him promoted to the senior squad where he played alongside other players such as Zoltán Ebedli, Tibor Nyilasi, Tamás Viczkó, Tibor Onhausz, Gusztáv Kelemen and Tibor Rab. With this roster, he played in the 1974–75 European Cup Winners' Cup where the club later appeared as runners-up. At that time, he was mostly in midfield before converting into a left-back. The following season, he was part of the winning squads for both the 1975–76 Nemzeti Bajnokság I and the 1975–76 Magyar Kupa. His most successful period with Ferencváros was between 1981 and 1983, where he was part of the winning squad for the 1980–81 Nemzeti Bajnokság I and runners-up for the following two seasons. He finished his career in Pesterzsébet with ESMTK before playing in amateur football within Burgenland state teams.
