  England v Hungary (1953) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
England v Hungary (1953) refers to a seminal and historic football match that ended England's unbeaten home run against sides from outside the British Isles that had stood since 1901.
Alf Ramsey later managed to score a penalty for England, but the game ended 6-3 to Hungary and a famous victory had been won by one of the greatest football teams that century, and the centre of world football had shifted eastward across the channel.
England were also undone by the use of Kocsis and Puskás as the main strikers.
