WHEN Ange Postecoglou used to pick Ferenc Puskas up and give him a lift to training, he would be embarrassed at pulling up in what he calls his ‘crappy old car’. Now, he knows there would be no one prouder of him than Puskas as he prepares to take on Real Madrid as Celtic manager.
Postecoglou has often spoken about the influence that Puskas had on him as a player, a manager and ultimately a person, with the pair forming a bond when Postecoglou played under the Hungarian great at South Melbourne between 1989 and 1992.
