Ferenc Szusza dead

Budapest: Ferenc Szusza, a member of Hungary's ``golden football team'' of the 1950s, has died, his former club said on Wednesday. He was 82. As a member of the `Magical Magyars', Szusza scored 18 goals in 24 matches.

Szusza had been hospitalised with a series of ailments throughout the past year, former Ujpest FC teammate Pal Varhidi said. He died late on Tuesday.

``He was an incredible player and the whole world knew that. He was my teammate, my coach and my friend,'' Varhidi said. He played for Hungary throughout it's greatest era, when the team, led by Ferenc Puskas, Sandor Kocsis and Nandor Hidegkuti, reached the 1954 World Cup final but lost to West Germany. — AP
