Born in Budapest in 1927, Ferenc Puskas
Born in Budapest in 1927, Ferenc Puskas was Hungary's treasure and the core of the 'Magical Magyars.' His cannonball left-footed shots set a national team record of 84 goals, and he shone for both 1950s Hungary and Real Madrid. A tragic hero forced into exile by his homeland's political upheaval, FIFA's annual 'Puskas Award' for best goal immortalizes his name.
