Hungary's Ferenc Puskas and England's Billy Wright featuring on the Dutch issue Blue Band Sporten En Spelen In Woord En Beeld.

The Golden Team also known as the Mighty Magyars refers to the Hungary national football team of the 1950s. It is associated with several notable matches, including the "Match of the Century" against England in 1953, and the quarter-final ("Battle of Berne") against Brazil, semi-final (against Uruguay) and final of the 1954 FIFA World Cup ("The Miracle of Bern"). The team inflicted notable defeats on then-footballing world powers England, Uruguay and the Soviet Union, before the 1956 Hungarian Revolution caused the breakup of the side.
