Source-derived summary

Laslo Seleš (born 23 June 1943) is a Yugoslav former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Career

Over the course of his 17-year-long career, Seleš played for Proleter Zrenjanin in Yugoslavia (1962–1969) and Sochaux in France (1969–1979). He helped his parent club win promotion to the Yugoslav First League for the first time ever in 1967. After suffering relegation from the top flight in 1969, Seleš moved abroad and signed with Sochaux, amassing nearly 300 appearances in the top flight of French football over the next decade.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Laslo Seleš” is serbian footballer. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Laslo, Seleš and Serbian, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1943, 1962, 1969, 1979—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1943-06-23. For this dossier, Laslo, Seleš and Serbian is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “serbian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3218432. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1943, 1962, 1969 and 1979.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
