Bonhams 1793 : World Cup Winners Medal 1950,

presented to Mataias Gonzalez, (The Lion), full back for Uruguay who pulled off the biggest World Cup shock when they defeated firm favourites and hosts Brazil 2-1 in the final. Gonzales played a large part keeping the rampant Brazilians at bay as they fought to grab the equaliser in the final 10 minutes after Uruguay had gone in front with a low shot inside the near post by Ghigga.
