	Sándor Kocsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sándor Kocsis (born September 21, 1929 in Budapest; died July 22, 1979) was a Hungarian football striker, who ranks fourth all-time with 75 international goals (in only 68 caps).
		Amazingly, he is not the top scorer for Hungary, as Ferenc Puskás scored 84.
		Kocsis' international career spanned from 1948 to 1956.

	Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
		Kocsis delivers a thrilling account: he's particularly good at making each multi-ethnic folk-inspired episode sound genuinely idiomatic, particularly where raw, primitive effects are employed, and he has the technique and stamina needed to traverse vast dynamic extremes, too.
		Kocsis gives a barnstorming account of this astonishing piece of Bartók juvenilia but leaves you in no doubt that the first version is the best.
		Kocsis doesn't always create the spine-chilling intensity and atmosphere that these slower sections should afford, but since Sándor's version is presently unavailable this is more than satisfactory, and the short pieces that complete this issue are also very well done.

		Kocsis made an explosive World Cup debut that is unlikely ever to be match.
		With Puskas injured against the Germans, Kocsis continued to carry his team's attack, scoring 2 goals in a brutal encounter against Brazil in the quarter-final.
		In 1956, Kocsis fled to the West after Hungary's Uprising and did not return to play in the 1958tournament.

		Kocsis and his teammates were in explosive form and he scored a hat trick in a 9-0 opening win over South Korea and then four in a memorable 8-3 demolition of West Germany, and two more in the 4-2 second round win over Brazil.
		The semifinal against defending champion Uruguay was a classic drama in which Kocsis was cast as the hero.
		Kocsis couldn't add to his 11 goals for the tournament but finished as top scorer by some distance.

		The deadlock was broken by Sandor Kocsis with two late goals to take Hungary through to the Final, beating a team that had not previously lost a World Cup game.

		The excellent Kocsis recordings on Philips are spread over three discs—an unnecessary and infuriating extravagance, for which the inclusion of the early Rhapsody and Scherzo offers some consolation.
		Considering that he is now in his late-seventies Sandor copes remarkably well, and I must stress that the results are never embarrassing; but there is too much rhythmically vague, colourless and under-articulated playing to allow his musical intentions to come through, and his tone generally lacks depth and richness.
		Incidentally, the Philips note for Kocsis contradicts Sandor's assertion that there is no recording of Bartok himself in the concertos.

		Had it not been deemed as an `offside', a decision that is till this day argued, Puskas' shot, which he judged precisely, strode in and hammered past Turek, could well have been the equaliser: and the story different.
		Kocsis, with 11 strikes, emerged the highest goal-scorer of the tournament.
		Kocsis' unforgettable effort came in the `Battle of Berne', the quarterfinal against Brazil which Hungary won 4-2, when he headed in Czibor's cross past Castilho after the latter had darted down the right.

	BigSoccer Boards - Gerd(The Bomber) Müller..the greatest goalscorer of all time THREAD
		I think you've misunderstood me - I wasn't claiming Kocsis to be the better striker (Muller is one of my favourite players), I was just making a point that arguably the two greatest international goalscorers suffered from serious problems in their lives.
		Had Kocsis, Puskas and Czibor not defected to the west after the revolution of 1956 then we may not be having this discussion - Kocsis was 27 and reaching his peak (he would at a conservative estimate, injuries not withstanding, have scored at least 100 international goals).
		Kocsis' and Muller's lack of recognition can perhaps be explained by more illustrius team-mates (Puskas and Beckenbauer) but Nordahl seems to have been forgotten in time almost completely without any real justification.

		Next, Kocsis was blocked again, chasing a misplaced back pass by left back Kohlmeyer and it was Czibor who followed up to score.
		He saved superbly from a Kocsis header, Hidegkuti hit the post, Turek in the opening half hour of the second half made two tremendous stops from Puskas.

		Football Federation Secretary General Sandor Berzi believes Hungary's location, bordered by seven countries, makes it ideal for a month-long event where many fans travel to matches and then go home again straight away, reducing some of the inevitable security headache.
