Something wrong?The only Hungarian to ever win the Ballon d'Or, in 1967, when the award still meant best player on the continent. Nicknamed "The Emperor" for a style so smooth it looked like he was gliding - one of those rare forwards whose elegance mattered as much as the goals.

Albert joined Ferencvárosi TC as a schoolboy and never left, spending his entire playing career at Fradi and becoming the club's defining legend. He collected 75 caps for Hungary, finished joint top-scorer at the 1962 World Cup with four goals, and helped steer the national team to third place at the 1964 European Championship. After hanging up his boots he stayed woven into Ferencváros, holding administrative roles and shaping the club's life from the inside. In 2007 the stadium took his name; when a new one rose in 2014 they planted a statue of him out front. He died in October 2011 at 70 in a Budapest hospital, days after heart surgery went wrong.
