Krisztián Tímár (born October 4, 1979 in Budapest) is a Hungarian footballer, playing in defence for Plymouth Argyle since January 10, 2007.

Biography

Timár initially joined Argyle on loan from Ferencvárosi TC until the end of the 2006/07 season, with a view to a £100,000 permanent move at the end of the season, which was completed on May 16, 2007 along with countryman Péter Halmosi [http://www.pafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10364~1026193,00.html] .

He made a great start to his loan period with a debut goal in the 2-2 draw with Wolves at Molineux and at 6 foot 3 inches he is certainly the beast that former manager Ian Holloway was looking for. [http://www.pafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10364~963726,00.html]

He scored his second league goal for the club, a magnificent overhead scissor kick in a 3-0 victory versus Scunthorpe United on December 1, 2007. Since his arrival, Timár has become somewhat a cult hero, with his no-nonsense approach and 100% commitment endearing him greatly to the Argyle faithful. As a result, on April 26, 2008 Timár was voted as the club's Player of the Year by the fans.

On 22 July, 2008, much to the delight of the Argyle fans, Timár agreed a new 3 year contract, with the option of a 4th year with the club.

International career

Timár was called up for the Hungarian national football team for their match on March 26, 2008 against Slovenia. He made his long-awaited international debut by starting this game.
