Varga, nicknamed
Piți, was born on 4 December 1941 in the
Vitan neighborhood of
Bucharest, Romania, growing up in the
Pantelimon neighborhood. At the age of 10 he went to play football at the junior squads of
Dinamo București where he worked with coach
Petre Steinbach. On 24 August 1958, Varga became the youngest player who scored in his
Divizia A debut match, when at 16 years, 8 months and 20 days he netted a
hat-trick against
Steagul Roșu Brașov in a 6–0 victory. At the end of his first season, coach
Iuliu Baratky used him the entire match in the 4–0 win over
CSM Baia Mare in the
1959 Cupa României final. In 1961, coach
Traian Ionescu used him as the team's game coordinator, helping them win the
1961–62 title by scoring four goals in 15 appearances. Among these goals was one from a penalty in a 1–0
derby win over
Steaua București, a team against which he previously scored on two other occasions in the earlier seasons. In the next three seasons, Varga helped
The Red Dogs win another three titles, working with coaches such as Ionescu,
Nicolae Dumitru and
Angelo Niculescu in the process. He also made three appearances in the
European Cup. He made his last Divizia A appearance on 10 November 1968 in a 3–0 victory against
Universitatea Cluj, totaling 120 matches with 29 goals in the competition.
Ion Nunweiller, his Dinamo teammate, said this about him: "I consider him the most complete player of his time, not only at Dinamo, but even in Romanian football. He never feared any opponent." He ended his career by playing one season in
West Germany's second tier,
Regionalliga West, at
Wuppertaler SV, scoring eight goals in 18 appearances. ==International career==
