ON THIS DAY: Football icon Puskas would have been 93 today

Former Real Madrid and Hungary great Ferenc Puskas would have been celebrating his 93rd birthday on April Fool's Day (April 1st). The striker affectionately known as the 'Galloping Major' starred during the greatest period in Hungary's football history.

During 12 years at Kispest, renamed Honved in 1949, he blasted home 357 goals in 354 games, before heading to Real Madrid for a metal-laden spell in which he netted 512 times in 528 matches. FIFA's award for greatest goal each year is named in his honour. Puskas died aged 79 in 2006.
