Puskas and di Stefano at Madrid were an out-of-this-world partnership. And to watch the 1962 European Cup Final against Benfica with Eusebio also on the pitch playing out of his skin remains one of football's greatest moments.
At least the world should know how to pronounce his name, I'll do my best to instruct all of you : "PUS" is like "push"; "KÁS" is like "carsh" without rolling the "r". - "FE" is like "feh"( the "e" is like in "get"), "RENC" is like "rance" but pls. roll the "R!" ! Got it?
I think he deserves that one remembers him and his name without all these different pronunciations. And besides my name is also Ferenc, and I saw him in Budapest many many times. Bless his memory!
One of the best tributes... Here in North America, there is Pele, Beckham, and may be Maradona. Puskas..., Hmmm! And oh... for all the Italians, there is all the Italians! Whoever they are!
Watching how many players are these days and the obscene amount of money they take, I can only get mad at the fact Ferenc never made so much money and had to leave the country he loved so much to live in exile, and spent his last days in a hospital bed. His accomplishment in sport and life are gigantic. He deserves our present an future admiration and respect! He represents everything that is good and worth keeping in soccer and sport in general. Farewell Ferenc!
I think he was the best european player, better than cruyff, definitely better than beckenbauer or platini, when you watch well his goals and passes you'll see his genius, he didn't even need to make solos cause of his magical left leg and intelligence
I can't believe this man! He is greatest example for everyone in the game, and also in the life. Noone can say any bad word for him... it's unbelievable. He is the best
The Greatest Soccor Player that In my life i ever seen, Not only was he the greatest player, but i bumped into him in Yugo and Spain, he never forgot me and when i went to visit him before he died he still said my name and was still able to say a joke as he laid in his hospital bed. May he always be remembered, Not only as Hungarys greatest, But many other countries Greatest! You might Know him as Pancho or Puskas But both he loved and loved everyone around him. RIP
a legend one of the all time greats of not just his era but ever duncan edwards,puskas and di stefano are the 3 best players of the 50's edwards is the best anyway no qustion
@totaalvoetbal je kut..... suck your total voetbal and your cruijff hard. for your information: Hungary was the first team which played total footbal.
@morrisal Why are you so angry? The first team who played totalfootball was the wunderteam of Austria. I am a big fan of Puskas, and i never willl say something bad about him! I have even the book of puskas. So why this respons?
im hungarian and im only bout to be 14 soon and im really good at soccer no wounder i love puskas hes my idol i want to be like him and im preatty much the best in my team and we r so far undeafeated.
Puskás was a good man, coming from a family that didn't have much. God gave him, through his "left foot" millions, and he has helped so many Hungarians, who were in need!
