The Names Heard Long Ago: How the Golden Age of Hungarian Football Shaped the Modern Game - Softcover
Synopsis
Hungary, 1920s. A school emerges from Budapest that becomes one of the most influential in football history. But war follows, and many players and coaches leave, fleeing anti-Semitism.
Italty, Argentina, Brazil, 1950s. Hungary's side are unbeatable.
How could this happen? In the cities of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire in the years after World War One, football changed. Rising in popularity alongside the rise of a new middle class, these intellectuals brought an academic, mathematical rigor to the game: discussing not just what was, but what could be.
This is the story of football flourishing in Hungary, when professional leagues were established and the game became universally loved across social classes and backgrounds. This is the story of the modern game establishing itself in the hearts of a society blighted by tragedy and famine, a culture that flourished in the shadow of rising fascism and the march toward war.
This is the story of this vibrant, tragic era - and how it transformed the game as we know it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Beautifully written and immaculately researched. Jonathan Wilson is the finest sports writer of his generation' - Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk RoadsIn 1953, the Mighty Magyars beat England 6-3 at Wembley, a result that echoes through the history of football. A year earlier, this Hungarian team had won Olympic gold. A year later, they lost agonisingly in the final of a World Cup that they dominated. This is the beginning, middle and end of Hungarian football in the popular imagination.Only, how come the ideas from this team spread around the world? Why do Hungarian managers spring up in Italy, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, across Europe and the Americas, bringing their secrets with them? And what are the incredible stories they have to tell, of escaping the Nazis and the Soviet communists?How did the history of modern football come to be born in the Budapest coffeehouses of the early twentieth century?Fifteen years in the making, this new book from bestselling football historian Jonathan Wilson is the missing piece of the jigsaw; the forgotten story in football's history, lost in war, in revolution, in death and tragedy. From the author of Inverting the Pyramid, a tour de force revealing the secret history of modern football.
