On 25 November 1953, the footballing landscape was altered forever. In a mist-shrouded Wembley Stadium, the beautiful game's historic dominant force England met the most exciting team of the 1950s, Hungary. What followed sent shockwaves through the very foundations that the sport was built upon. England played with the crushing weight of expectation upon their shoulders, defending their proud unbeaten home record. Hungary, meanwhile, took on football's most venerated team in the knowledge that they had the opportunity to make history by emerging victorious - and that anything less would not be tolerated by their country's brutal Soviet dictatorship. This is the story of a match that would change the course of football history forever.
