Ferenc Puskas

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Mighty Magyar
Ragged heels and studded dreams
Genius found a home
In the burning boots
Of a football refugee
Blazed a path of such glory
That the number 10 shirt
Of Honved Budapest retired
To its well earned peace
To be worn by no other
The memories stored
Not in suitcases
But hearts wedded to the terrace
Where the immaculate passion
Of life finds its truth
Upon a football pitch.
