This programme is from the 'Match of the Century' between England and Hungary, which took place at Wembley Stadium in November 1953.

The Hungarians were considered one of the world's greatest sides at the time, and lived up to their reputation in London, running out impressive 6-3 winners.

The stunning victory, not thought to be possible on English shores by the complacent hosts, brought about a tactical culture change, with more managers looking towards the continent for new formations and ideas.
