Midfielder of Hungarian extraction, Istvan Gyulai arrived at Stade Rennais University Club from FC Bosckai (based in the town of Debrecen) in 1936. At that time, he actually paid for his own transfer to Stade Rennais. A year prior to his move, he had met a rich woman from Rennes, with whom he got married, and the wedding dowry enabled him to finance his arrival with the Red and Blacks. In three seasons, however, he would only make 25 appearances, scoring one goal in that time, and he would only 4 of those matches in his final season at the club, in 1939.
