Video: A real armory of guns was hidden in the cellar of the Grosics House in 1956
For the new Budapest Football Tales series, we visited Serleg Street on Gellért Hill that was also the home to several national team footballers during the Golden Team era. From the mid-50s, Gyula Grosics lived in the dead end of that street at House no.3 that became a notable scene during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. A real armory of guns was hidden in the goalkeeper’s cellar.
