December 1938 saw the Hungary visit Glasgow and suffer a 3 – 1 defeat. 16 years later and the Mighty Magyars repaid us in full winning 4 -2 which considering they had demolished the Auld Enemy 6 - 3 at Wembley was not too bad a defeat. Janet Hopkins and Andrew Gibson were in the 113,146 crowd that saw us put up brave resistance to the team who had recently lost to West Germany in the 54 World Cup Final. Captained by the magical Frenc Puskas, at the time the best footballer on the planet, he revisted Hampden in 1960 to lead Real Madrid to their greatest triumph.
The 2 – 0 home victory in ’87 would only be remembered for 2 McCoist goals at the covered end, the second slipping under the goalie who seemed to be 6’8 tall. They are undergoing a revival at the moment not having qualified for a major Championship since 1978. As usual we enter a friendly with some trepidation.
I had planned to go to Budapest for the 1980 tour game. Found a problem getting a visa and didn't . Did Broon travel? Danny? We lost 3 -1 with Steve Archibald slotting in the solitary goal.
