Hungarian side Vasas, perhaps the world's greatest of their era, toured the UK in the mid-1950s just after their national team had humiliated England at Wembley 6-3.

Amazingly, City won 3-1.

Hungary, the name in English for the European country, is an exonym derived from the Medieval Latin Hungaria. The Latin name itself derives from the ethnonyms (H)ungarī, Ungrī, and Ugrī for the steppe people that conquered the land today known as Hungary in the 9th and 10th centuries.
