About
Kocsis came up through Hungarian football in the early 1950s and became the scoring partner to Ferenc Puskás in the Mighty Magyars, the national team that dominated the decade. He led all European leagues in goals in both 1952 and 1954 while playing for Budapest Honvéd. At the 1954 World Cup he scored eleven times — still a record for a single tournament until 1958 — including two hat-tricks and four against West Germany. After the 1956 Hungarian Revolution he left for Spain and joined FC Barcelona, where he played out the late 1950s. Over his career he scored 556 goals in 537 official matches…
