Hungary and Real Madrid legend Ferenc Puskas has died after long battle against pneumonia.

The 79-year-old spent the last two months in intensive care at a Budapest hospital but was also confined to hospital for six years with Alzheimer's disease.

He led his country's 'Golden Team' of the early 1950s, and was part of the first foreign side to beat England at Wembley, winning 6-3 in 1953 in one of the game's most famous upsets.

Puskas later took Spanish citizenship and became part of Real Madrid's all-conquering side, which claimed five successive European Cups between 1956 and 1960.
