Welcome to the new version of this site. The old site had been lying dormant for so long that I have decided to start again from scratch with a new format. The focus will be less on statistics and more on longer biographies of great players and coaches. The old site is still available as an archive.
If you have been redirected to the home page having searched for a particular player or match, please follow the "Old Site Archive" link on the left and look through the pages there.
I will be adding biographies to the site one at a time, in order of date of birth - starting with the earliest legends of the game. Please check back regularly for new content!

Gusztáv Sebes is renowned as the coach of one of the most exciting and influential teams in the history of football, namely Hungary's 'Magical Magyars' of the 1950s. His teams used an early form of 'total football' some twenty years before the Netherlands popularised such ideas, and went unbeaten throughout much of the early part of the decade before falling agonisingly short of becoming World Champions.
