Ladislau "Gioni" Brosovszky (Romanian: Broșovschi) (23 March 1951 – 23 December 1990) was a Romanian football midfielder with Hungarian roots.

Club career

Brosovszky was born on 23 March 1951 in Arad, Romania and began playing football in the 1967–68 Divizia B season at local club Vagonul.[1][2][3] In the following season he joined UTA Arad with whom he made his Divizia A debut on 1 September 1968 in a 1–0 away loss to Petrolul Ploiești.[1][3] In his first season, he was used by coach Nicolae Dumitrescu in a total of 21 matches in which he scored one goal as the team won the title.[1][3][4] He won another title in the next season, contributing with one goal scored in the 30 appearances Dumitrescu gave him.[1][3][4] He took part in UTA's 1970–71 European Cup campaign in which they eliminated the defending European champions Feyenoord, being defeated by Red Star Belgrade in the following round against whom he scored a goal.[1][3][5] Brosovszky also played eight matches in the 1971–72 UEFA Cup campaign, scoring one goal against each of Austria Salzburg and Zagłębie Wałbrzych, helping UTA reach the quarter-finals where they were eliminated with 3–1 on aggregate by Tottenham Hotspur who eventually won the competition.[1][6] In the beginning of his career, he played as a left defender, but afterwards he played more as an offensive midfielder, a position from which he scored a personal record of 16 goals in the 1976–77 season.[1][3] Brosovszky made his last Divizia A appearance on 24 June 1979 in a 6–2 home victory against Politehnica Iași, being UTA's top-scorer in the competition, having a total of 100 goals netted in 314 appearances, also totaling 16 appearances with four goals in European competitions.[1][2][3] Among these goals, eight were scored in the West derby against Politehnica Timișoara, contributing to six victories and one draw for his side.[7] He spent the last two years of his career in Divizia B at Rapid Arad.[1][2][3]

Between 1969 and 1972, Brosovszky made several appearances for Romania's under-23 and Olympic sides.[8]
