West Germany were surprise winners of the 1954 FIFA World Cup, coming from two goals down to defeat Hungary in a Final forever remembered as the 'Miracle of Berne'. Hungary were unbeaten in 31 matches and scored 25 goals en route to the Final - eight of them against the Germans in the first round. Yet it was Fritz Walter and not Ferenc Puskas who picked up the Jules Rimet Cup.
