I doubt there was a better striker to play the game. Taking everything into consideration I'd say he has the best goal/game ratio of all time at the top level. What I mean by that is it's getting harder and harder for teams to score every year with improves tactics, fitness, etc. AFAIK Puskas never played in a 0-0 draw. You'd be expecting todays strikers to be scoring a couple every game back then.
Moving away from the stats though he was just so much more than goals. An amazing talent.
