OTD E0050 — 20 Dec 1956: Honvéd, Heysel & The Night an Era Ended

20 Dec 1956: at Heysel in Brussels, Honvéd draw 3–3 with Athletic Bilbao and go out of the European Cup – in what becomes the last great appearance of the legendary Honvéd/Mighty Magyars core. We rewind through Hungary’s Golden Team, the coffee-house culture and Mitropa Cup, the 1956 uprising and why this “home” leg was moved from Budapest, then follow the tie and the exodus that sent Puskás, Kocsis & co. into exile – and opened a new chapter for Hungarian football.Tips/corrections: [email protected]
