Hungary's Golden Team of the late 1940s and mid-late 1950s is undoubtedly one of the finest national football / soccer teams ever assembled, yet they never managed to get their hands on the FIFA World Cup.
The Magical Magyars only flaw tended to be conceding too many goals, yet the Hungarian Government sacrificed their best centre-back in 1951 to send a political message to the nation's most famous footballers.
In this short documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at the life and career of Sandor Szucs, a man who could have led Hungary to the 1954 World Cup were it not for committing the crime of love.

Of course I never knew him in person since he died years before I was born (2000 for anyone who's wondering). What I meant was that I first came across him online a couple of months ago (research and things like that when you come across players you've never heard of before).

@MiklosHajma
@MiklosHajma 3 года назад
@@areebsiddiqui758 I don't think it was drugs either. But should also be noted that our team was much more tired than the German side. We had to defeat Brazil (Battle of Berne) where basically no one left uninjured, and Uruguay in extra time. Meanwhile Germany had an easy 6-1 win against Austria which was not expected at all, and a harder one against Yugoslavia. And on top of that, refereeing was abysmal too.

That Hungarian generation was filled with world-class players, they could have won everything for the next 10 years if they would have stuck together.

I'm proud that he was Hungarian, and I'm Hungarian too. Yes, you're right, I wasn't clear, so I'll clear it for you. I'm proud to be Hungarian. I'm proud to our history, culture, language, songs, folklores, traditions and so many more things. I'm proud that I'm from the same nation as this once great player from too. You don't understand why I'm even more proud after this video? If somebody says something positive about your country, (your country's people in this case) you feel proudness. This isn't a thing that should be explained. And to the video you just sent me: yes we suffered a defeat, no excuse. But if I'm correct in euro 2016 we got in the round of 16, and topped our group, while you finished last. And now we have a chance to play in Euro 2021. Tomorrow will compete against a team (Iceland) that knocked you out. In the Nations League we currently occupy 2nd spot with 7 points, and a +1 goal difference, while you occupy 3rd spot with 4 points, and with a -4 goal difference. A Hungarian team is competing in the UCL. We can argue which team is better, but it's useless

While I'm proud you covered a Hungarian topic, and most crucial information is correct, i have to point out some inaccurracies. It is widely believied, the authorities set an example by murdering Szűcs, who was choosen for his extramarital affair and for him being dispensable for the national team. In fact he was not selected for the national team for two years before his death, his postion already filled by Lóránt and Börzsei. By the time of the 1954 world cup Szűcs would have been 32-33 years old and unlikely he could have made a difference. Hungary concedeing several goals was rather a consequence of the general offensive approach of the game, that worked quite well most of the time, and what is somewhat similar to the Brazilian Joga Bonito approach. His name is pronounced as Shaandor Suech.
