Friday Hero–Special #5

I remember that as a boy, there was only one club for me – Arsenal. Ferenc Puskas

The final installment of my World Cup Special heroes – this little fella is overlooked as one of the great footballers of all time.  He scored 157 goals in 187 appearances for Real Madrid in the 1950’s. The quote is lovely, and reminds us that after the final on Sunday, attention will once again be on domestic football, which starts in just a few weeks in the UK.

Whilst looking for quotes – I also found this one about Puskas:

Look at that little fat chap. We’ll murder this lot. An unidentified English opponent before the 1953 game between England and Hungary (England lost, 6-3)

It just goes to show – never underestimate a little fat chap.
