I remember when they came to this country at a time when we were unbeaten at Wembley and they thrashed us 6-3 and everyone was saying we would get revenge in a return game in Hungary but we lost 7-1. I was only 6 years old but remember everybody here being totally shocked at the way they beat us.

I have the program of that match sparrow, one of my grandad's brothers was a coach in Hungary and years later he went to a presentation by Puskas in which he was thanked profusely by the Hungarian F A. Google him "Jimmy Hogan football coach" not too much said about him because he was Irish but his warm ups were legendary and they looked like a bunch of circus performers prior to the game. They were all doing keep uppys with their own ball. They beat England by getting Billy Wright out of the middle at the back. Wright was told to stay with him so heguti (not sure about spelling) dropped deep and Wright followed him to the half way line. Big hole in behind and the rest is history. Lot of people never knew about Jimmy Hogan but he was the first to go over there and learn from them .

" is sometimes credited with the revolution in European football that saw Hungary thrash England 6–3 at Wembley in 1953, ushering in a new football era. After the match, Sándor Barcs,[8] then president of the Hungarian Football Federation, said to the press, "Jimmy Hogan taught us everything we know about football."[9] Gusztáv Sebes, the Hungarian footballer and coach, said of Hogan, "We played football as Jimmy Hogan taught us. When our football history is told, his name should be written in gold letters"

1. The great Dane. The one that played for the mancs(blue and red)obvs
2. Before the Irish err thug "accidently" stuck the boot in I thought Per Cech was a great keeper 3. Manuel Neuer in his pomp he seemed to fill the goal with his bulk |

Loads of photos on the internet of yashin using gloves, I wonder if he was the first to use them ?

By:
Most images of Yashin on here show him wearing gloves.

By:
Buffon for me ,has to be someone from the last 10-20 years
yesterdays footballers were shockingly poor back then and those old goalies wouldn't stand a chance today .. but Shilton was always a good watch at his peak ,he won Forest a title . |

By:
Amadeo Raul Carrizo is allegedly the first keeper to use gloves, in Argentina way back in the 1950's.

By:
Cheers tiger didn't know that ......was told it years ago but can't find pics of Yashin playing without gloves . Palace had a player wide left who played without shin pads in the eighties, word got round and eventually he changed his ways. Totally illegal now isn't it ?

On 21 September 1949 at Goodison Park, Liverpool, the home of Everton, England were defeated 2–0 by Ireland in a friendly international. As a result, Ireland became the first foreign team to beat England at home.

Some of the myths perpetuated by the beautiful game lol
|
|
By:
England played a fair few home games against continental sides (Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, France)
for some reason these were mostly not played at Wembley, often they weree played at Highnury or White Hart Lane not sure what the reason was I suppose you could say "Hungary were the first team other than the Home Nation, and the Irish Free State, to beat England at home" |
|
By:
even the famous game against Italy in 1934 was not played at Wembley
England didn't play all their Home Championship games at Wembley either back then |
|
By:
pretty sure that Ireland team would have been referred to as "Eire" in the match programme
the IFA (Northern Ireland) team was called "Ireland" in all matches until the 1950s, and continued be called "Ireland" in the British Home Championship until the 1970s |
|
By:
Ireland , Scotland and Wales all beat England in the home international championship prior to 1953
They weren't that good a team, they failed to enter the first three world cups and got beat 1-0 by the USA in 1950. They won at the Olympics with an amateur team in 1908\1912 The myth would have you believe that the game started in the UK BUT AGAIN ......there is evidence of football being played in China, Australia and America before the English came along and started the first association and drafted the rules. All part of the myth "football's coming home" |
|
By:
in 1949 both the FAI (Dublin) and the IFA (Belfast) referred to their teams as "Ireland"
