The 10 greatest strikers of all time

#5 Ferenc Puskas

Blessed with a thunderous left foot and superb positioning skills, Ferenc Puskas is easily one of the greatest players to ever play the game. He was the lynchpin of the all-conquering “Magical Magyars” and led the Hungary team to unprecedented success which included a second place finish in the 1954 World Cup.

Puskas first created a name for himself in his hometown club of Budapest Honaved where he spent 12 long years and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest goalscorers of all time. During the second half of his career, Puskas formed a deadly combination with the great Alfredo Di Stefano during his stint at Real Madrid as they the duo tore up defences and guided the Los Blancos to five straight league titles and three European Cups.

The legendary Hungarian striker was La Liga’s top scorer for 4 seasons in a row. His phenomenal goal scoring prowess can be seen from the fact that he scored an astonishing 616 goals in 620 appearances for his club sides. He is also Hungary's record scorer having scored 84 times in 85 appearances.

Puskas is one of the if not the greatest striker Real Madrid have had in their long and illustrious history.
