" Everything seems to be prearranged with these Hungarians", says the British broadcaster in 1953 (31.34)!! What an accolade for the Hungarians! The same they say about Barcelona now.

Thanks for Uploading such a great match. Hungary losing the 1954 World Cup is the biggest upset in the history of Football. I have watched 50 minutes of that Final. The Germans had 6 chances and scored three goals. The Hungarians missed more than 20 opportunities and scored only two. I'm German but Hungary should have won that Final. Biggest heartbreaker in the history of the game. This Hungarian team is the best in history together with Brazil in 1958.

Hungary was also able to achieve that level of team cohesion because the bulk of the NT played w/two or three clubs in their domestic league; much like the Soviet and the Yugoslavian NTs did in that era.

"The Golden Head" was Sandor Kocsis not Hidegkuti.

N, but Roy and my father saw the match at Wembley in 1953.

pushkas' ball to him at that stge and his feed through are exceptional; this is football of the very highest order. stuff your barcelona; this was the greatest team and but for the russian invasion of hungary would have won 2 or 3 world cups. hungary v brazil and england in 3rd in 58 but for rusian invasion and muich; would have been footballs greatest tournament

[Sword Hun]

My favourite is on 50.50 "Oooh, Hidegkuti, what a football!" Really, the english reporter wondering like a baby....

[thetoon99]

Yea people forget he was a top player, before a manager same as revie and clough..

Did you see this game back in your youth? haha puskas was a star

[TheLegendfamily]

Y, Sir Alf Ramsey was then "The General" Ramsey: a right-back for Spurs.
