The Golden Star
In the Hungarian League three teams include two stars as part of their crest appearing on their shirt to represent the trophies won by the club. After ten Hungarian League titles the club can include one star on their crest. There are four clubs who are entitled to wear one or two stars on their crest. MTK was the first club who celebrated its 10th title in 1922, but at that time the clubs did not put stars on their badge. It was also MTK who was first entitled to wear the second star in 1997. Now there are three clubs (MTK, Ferencváros and Újpest) with two stars and one club (Honvéd) with one star.
| Stars | Club | Obtained |
|---|---|---|
| MTK Budapest | 1923, 1997 | |
| Ferencváros | 1927, 1967 | |
| Újpest | 1969, 1998 | |
| Budapest Honvéd | 1988 |

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or star:
“Here is a golden Rule.... Write legibly. The average temper of the human race would be perceptibly sweetened, if everybody obeyed this Rule!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
