Ferenc Puskás passed away yesterday: November 17, 2006. This player was a footballing legend and will always be remembered for how he changed football.
Although I was not born when he was playing I have seen clips of him on the television and from what I have seen he made football look easy and any player that does that can be considered a great.
Some of the tricks he used such as the dragback I don't believe this country had not seen much of before and he mastered techniques and skills such as this.
His goalscoring record wasn't bad either, or to put it bluntly his goalscoring record was incredible. I believe he was a player you would expect to score every game, and unfortunately these days you don't get too many of these.
In one game I recall he and Hungry mauled England, and England wasn't a bad team at this time either!!!After watching some of his goals I have been left amazed. One of my favourites was where he moved one way and a defender went that way but then he dragged back the ball in a way I have never seen before and left the defender helpless, and finally he blasted it past the keeper. This was absoloutely incredible and a goal which will stick in my mind and probably many others who have seen it.
This footballing legend is written into history and that cannot be undone.
Thank you Ferenc Puskás
