## Bio

Born Purczeld, son of a footballer, Puskás tore through Hungarian football with Kispest and Honvéd, topping the league four times and Europe's scoring charts in 1948. As captain of the Mighty Magyars he won Olympic gold in 1952 and reached the 1954 World Cup final, but the Hungarian Revolution cut the run short — UEFA banned him two years, a move to Greece collapsed under rival pressure, and he landed at Real Madrid in 1958 already past 30. He won three European Cups there, scored seven goals across two finals, claimed five straight La Liga titles and four Pichichis. After hanging up his boots he coached Panathinaikos to the 1971 European Cup final and a Greek championship, then wandered — Spain, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, a brief return to manage Hungary in 1993. In 2002 Budapest renamed its stadium for him; in 2009 FIFA named its annual wonder-goal award the Puskás.
