Ferenc Puskás: Legendary Soccer Star - A Legacy in Football

Puskas is one of the greatest players of all time and, just like Yashin earlier, he also has an award named after him. After a goal-heavy spell in his homeland of Hungary, the prolific striker earned a move to Spanish giants, Real Madrid, where he continued his impressive form in front of goal. He netted 201 goals in 231 games for the La Liga outfit. There are only a handful of strikers in the history of football that are held in higher regard than Puskas. Being born in Hungary, the striker represented the nation for the majority of his career but also made a handful of appearances for Spain at international level. Helping Real Madrid to five La Liga titles, Puskas was the top goalscorer in the division during three of those campaigns, which is no surprise with his goal record. He also had a big part to play in Los Blancos' three European Cup triumphs during that successful period.
