55th anniversary


It is the 55th anniversary, that Hungary beat England 6 to 3 in soccer.

The 'Gold Team' of Hungary beat England in the Wembley in 1953. The legendary team which included Puskas, was the pride of the nation by that time, everybody knew the complete team, there were thousands in the stadiums.
That win in Wembley was not the biggest. The biggest win was to score the silver medal in the world cup, which was won by the West germans. It is still a bitter memory, since everyone bet a gold medal.
Anyway, when the english team came to budapest for the next match, hungary beat then 7-1 :-)
The biggest stadium was named after Puskas, who was playing for Real Madrid for long time before his retire.
