"In his club career, he apparently totalled 511 goals, a number believed to be third all-time behind Pelé and Josef Bican." Given that Romario scored over 900 goals, this seems unlikely. Maybe someone could do an edit. It is also unlikley that he is the fourth all time scorer.
- Friendereich got more than Pelé, fifth and counting.
Picture
This one is just temporary. Who are the person on Puskas' picture? Obviously it's not him, so shouldn't it be of him?
Why he left Hungary
Can someone give some details? I have been reading a book "Everton in Europe", in its chapter of the match between Everton and the Greek side Pukas coached, it mentioned that he was away with his club in "free" Europe while Hungarian uprising was crushed by the USSR troops. Can someone with a better source confirm this and add this information to the page? I think it's an important move to Pukas career, without which he would not have been playing a partnership with Di Stefano.
Your source was right, he and several other players of "The Golden Team" remained abroad (mostly in Austria and Italy) after the invasion of the Red Army, but being threatened with an incredible two-year FIFA ban that forbade clubs even to let the "fugitives" train with them, most of them chose to return. Those few who refused to return had to wait until '59 to be signed. --Biziclop 16:05, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Total Amount of Goals in Career
Someone know? Is up 1.000?
I've found these figures (but I'll verify them in his official biography)
358 goals scored from 349 Hungarian domestic appearances 324 goals scored from 372 Spanish domestic appearances 84 goals scored from 85 Hungarian international matches
This totals to 766 goals (from 806 matches) not counting cups and friendly tours with various all-star teams. Hence the estimation of 1000 career goals and considering that this incorporates two years of almost total "silence", even if the real number is less than 1000, ha is in fact one of the most prolific goalscorers of all times.
Pantheon
Absolute POV on the six greatest players of all time.
Reference
I don't know anything about Puskas, and from what I understand he is a legend. However, this page has many comments such as 'the finist team of the era', 'the finest player' etc... I'm not disputing it, I think it would be good to have more reference. Azymuthca 19:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Just look at the results of that time. Hungary won against everyone. The only mistake, though, was in the 54 WC final where they lost after first taken the lead against West-Germany. Earlier in that WC, they won them by 8-3. I don't think Puskas needs any further explanation either. Look at his record for RM. And his i.eg. european cup wins aso...
My point is... whe don't need reference where he is said to be the finest player or finest team. Well, there should be "one of the" in front. I agree there.
