UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 01: A portrait of the Hungarian striker Sandor KOCSIS around 1950. Sandor KOCSIS was an olympic champion in 1952 and was the pillar of Hungaria's victory against England in Wembley (6-3) in 1953 in Berne Wankdorf. He was forced to go in exile in 1956 after the entry of Soviet tanks in Budapest. Suspended by the FIFA he joined a small Swiss club, the Bern Young Fellows before being transfered to Barcelona in 1958 where he found his friend CIZBOR with whom he had made his debuts in Ferencvaroset. They went back to Berne Wandkorf in 1961 to play the finals of the champion clubs' European Cup against BENFICA and both scored one goal. KOCSIS became a cafe owner in Barcelona in 1965. He was affected by cancer few years later and suicided by throwing himself out of the window of the hospital where he was treated on July 22, 1979.
