They regard Ferenc Puskas as the best Eastern European football player of all time. His goal-finishing skills and striking technique made him one of the best shooters. He was highly consistent and professional in his performances.

Puskas was the captain of the Hungarian national team, briefly. He moved to Spain in 1958 to play for the Spanish national team and Real Madrid. Overall, he played 223 club matches and scored 194 goals. For Spain and Hungary, he scored 84 goals in 89 matches.

Josep Maria Fuste said "Puskas is one of the five best players in football's history: Di Stéfano, Pele, Cruyff and Maradona. And Puskas Kubala, he was a physical beast, so determined that he would work to achieve anything he set out.

Puskas was the best Hungarian in history, he was wonderful. He played in one of the best teams in history, something unheard of: the Hungary that scored six goals against England in Wembley."

The World Soccer and IFFHS voted him on the seventh and sixth place in the 'greatest player of the century' list, respectively.
