László István Orbán (born April 17, 1930, in Cluj, died May 31, 2018, in Balatonfűzfő[citation needed]) is one of the most significant fencers of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s in Cluj who performed in national championships.[1] Orbán raised the quality of the sport after the second world war and met challenges from much better supported and advantaged fencers from Bucharest. His grandfather was János Spáda, a famous architect in Kolozsvár (today Cluj-Napoca, Romania), and his cousin, Prof. Béla Orbán, a mathematician in the same city, all of them ethnic Hungarians.
