 | | This was a World Cup, held at the foot of the Swiss Alps, which reached dizzying heights of entertainment and drama thanks to a special Hungary team, an avalanche of goals and a "miracle" ending. |
 | | Aside from the Brazil team of 1982 and the 1974 Dutch side, Hungary's 1954 squad is regarded as the greatest side never to win a World Cup. |
 | | Led by the legendary quartet of Ferenc Puskas, Sandor Kocsis, Nandor Hidegkuti and Jozsef Bozsik, Hungary was the overwhelming pre-tournament favourite. |
