The club celebrated its next league title 4 years later, when the 15-year-old László was already playing handball in the club's reserves. In 1983, in addition to the championship gold medal, he won his first top scorer title in Nemzeti Bajnokság I, which he then defended five times, something that no one else in the league has been able to do since then.

In January 2000, an Achilles tendon injury ended his career.
