World Cup Countdown: 16 Weeks to Go - Is Sándor Kocsis the Greatest Goalscorer of All Time?

Hungarian football and it's historical stars are severely under publicised. Where other countries' football is heavily documented and their former heroes are cemented in modern football culture, some nations' have been lost in history; with the Hungary side of 1954 falling strongly under this category.

Brazil had Pelé, Germany had Gerd Müller, Holland had Johan Cruyff, all of which we know well and are fully aware of their talents and importance to their nations' footballing heritage. However one figure that often slips under the radar, is Hungary legend Sándor Kocsis.

For all of his exploits in the game, the fact that most of the modern footballing generation may not know of Kocsis and his goalscoring feats is almost criminal.
