Abstract

Lajos Vermes is the most interesting figure of the Hungarian sport life: he was a renowned sportsman, a sport agitator, organizer and leader, teacher and beside these, he was a fibster, a person who lost his credibility quite often. Even though he devoted his life and fortune to sports he lives in the public consciousness due to his trespassing, famous bluffs and delusions of grandeur. Despite this, he had an important role in the sport life of Cluj. Without him, the local sport life wouldn’t have had such a spectacular development at the beginning of the 20ᵗʰ century. His name is in tight relation with the development of the sport life in Cluj, the introduction of football, the success of athletics and fencing. He was one of the organizers of every sport competition in the city.

Lajos Vermes, primul profesor de scrimă al universității din Cluj. Lajos Vermes este o persoană interesantă a istoriei sportive maghiare: a fost un sportiv renumit, organizator de competiții sportive, profesor de sport. Dar în același timp de multe ori și-a pierdut credibilitatea datorită unor competiții trucate și minciuni publicate în presa vremii. Însă în pofida acestor întâmplări Vermes a rămas în istoria sportivă clujeană datorită influenței asupra dezvoltării mișcărilor sportive de la începutul secolului 20. Fotbal, atletism, scrimă – apariția, respectiv succesul acestor ramuri sportive au la bază activitatea lui Vermes.

Cuvinte cheie: Lajos Vermes, profesor de scrimă, Universitate, Cluj
