I took these photos today about Florian Albert farewell honor at the Albert Stadium in Budapest. Besides the family and collegues, many football fans gathered for the event and payed their respects at the Football Ceazar’s coffin as well as outside the stadium. There were fans from other teams (clubs) too.

Florian Albert, who has died at aged 70, was elected European Footballer of the year in 1967 and was the last of the great pleayers to emerge from Hungary during its golden era.
