The Miracle of Bern, 1954 - Season 2, Episode 8

When you look down the list of nations to have won the World Cup trophy, the omission of Hungary in the 1950s is a glaring one. The Mighty Magyars were the greatest side the world had ever seen as they dominated the middle of the 20th century - from 1950 to 1955 they played 49 times losing just once. Unfortunately, that one solitary loss was in the World Cup final against an unfancied West German side riding the wave of a post-war rebuild.

This is the Miracle of Bern.
