Born on April 2, 1927, in Budapest, Hungary, Ferenc Puskás starred for Honvéd SE and Hungary's powerful national team in the 1950s.
After defecting during the Hungarian Revolution, the stocky forward enjoyed more success with Spain's Real Madrid club. Puskás returned to Hungary after 25 years in exile, and saw Budapest's largest sports arena renamed in his honour shortly before his death.
He was died on 17 November, 2006.
