Asteras Tripolis After being released by West Brom, Fülöp moved to Greece, joining Asteras Tripolis on a two-year deal. International career Fülöp made his full international debut for the Hungarian national team on 31 May 2005, coming on at half-time for Gábor Király against France in a friendly at the Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien in Metz. He did not concede a goal, but Hungary lost 2–1. Fülöp earned his fifth and sixth cap against Bosnia and Turkey during the Euro 2008 qualifying. He managed two clean sheets against Malta and Poland on 13 and 17 October, but conceded three goals against Moldova on 17 November. Fülöp conceded two more goals in Hungary's last match of the Euro 2008 qualifying, losing 2–1 to Greece. Hungary finished second last in Group C with 12 points. Illness and death In 2013, Fülöp announced that he was taking a break from football after having a malignant tumour removed from his arm. In 2014, he announced that he was preparing for a return to the sport. Fülöp died of cancer on 12 November 2015, aged 32. On the day of his death, Hungarian internationals, wearing black armbands, won 1–0 away to the favoured Norway team in the first leg of their UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-off game. Hungarian goalkeeper Gábor Király, who celebrated his 100th international appearance and was rated as the best player of the match, said afterwards: "We simply could not afford to concede any goals on this match, out of respect to him". When with only two minutes remaining from the game, Norway's Pål André Helland headed a rebounding ball against the crossbar with an open goal gaping, Hungarian commentator István Hajdú B. remarked: "This was probably tipped to the bar by Márton Fülöp...this was a helping hand from the sky". Three days later, the rematch in Budapest started with a minute's silence in the memory of him (as well as former Golden Team member Pál Várhidi and the victims of the Paris terror attacks). Hungary beat Norway 2–1, and qualified for the Euros after 44 years, reaching a major international competition for the first time since the 1986 World Cup. Several players commemorated Fülöp in their post match interviews, including goalscorer Tamás Priskin who paid tribute by dedicating his goal to his late teammate. The following day, Sunderland flew their flags at the Stadium of Light and their training ground at half-staff
