Ferenc Nyers (also known as Étienne Nyers; born 3 March 1927) is a retired French professional footballer active in France, Hungary and Colombia. Nyers was born in Freyming-Merlebach, Moselle, France on 3 March 1927 to Hungarian immigrant parents. His older brother is fellow footballer István Nyers. Forwards, also known as strikers, are the players on a team in association football who play nearest to the opposing team's goal, and are therefore principally responsible for scoring goals. This very advanced position and its limited defensive responsibilities mean forwards normally score more goals than other players; accordingly, they are often among the best-known and most expensive players in their teams. This is one of modern football's most demanding positions; it requires intelligence and speed, both of execution and of thought, to perform the role well.
