This is a compilation of unbelievable worldclass goalscorers of all time. We will be adding new players to the list on a regular basis.
All-time top scoring forward in the World Cup. Won two WC golds (1994, 2002) and might have won a third in '98 if he hadn't suffered a nervous breakdown(?!) fifteen minutes before the final against France.
Maradona? Zidane? Come off it. Three World Cup wins, the first at 17 with two goals, the last at 30 with a bullet-header. Oh yeah, he also scored over 1000 first-class goals. And he never got sent off. 'Nuff said
European Footballer of the year at 21. Ripped apart the greatest team in Europe at the time (Benfica) with a 5-1 thrashing at home, then repeated the performance with a 4-1 win to help Manchester United become the first English team to win the European Cup. Could have had it all. When asked what he did with all his money: "Most of it I spent on birds and booze. The rest I squandered."
Lethal acceleration over short distances, a remarkable aerial game, and uncanny goalscoring instincts. He could turn quickly and with perfect balance in small spaces at speeds that would cause other players to fall over. He also had a knack of scoring in unlikely situations. With national records of 68 goals in 62 international appearances, 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games and the international record of 66 goals in 74 European Club games. Still holds the record for the most number of WC goals in a single tournament (13).

Zambian legend Godfrey Chitalu is a famous name in African football
history, but his amazing goal-scoring record was overlooked in Europe. It
is time to set the record straight about his story.
Robert David Keane (born 8 July 1980) is an Irish professional football coach and former player who played as a forward. Keane served as captain of the Republic of Ireland from March 2006 until his international retirement in August 2016. Keane is the most capped player and is the top goalscorer in the team's history. He was most recently the assistant manager of Middlesbrough.
Robert Lester Zamora (born 16 January 1981) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker. Zamora began his career at Football League club Bristol Rovers, but was soon signed by Brighton & Hove Albion, where he found first-team success. Zamora scored 77 goals in three seasons and helped the club achieve two successive promotions.
Jimmy Greaves - Tottenham Hotspur's all-time record goalscorer with 266 goals in 379 appearances.
He scored two to win the 1998 World Cup, also won Euro 2000 and the 2002 UEFA Champions League. Also one of only two three-time FIFA World Player of the Year winners. Won the Golden Ball as the MVP in the World Cups of 1998 and 2006. And he would have won another World Cup if he'd headed in the ball instead of head-butting Materazzi!
He invented the modern attacking sweeper position and is the only man to both captain and manage World Cup-winning teams (1974 and 1990, respectively). Led Bayern Munich to three European Cup championships and four national titles. European Footballer of the Year in 1972 and 1976.
Did score two of the greatest goals of all time, even if one of them was actually an own-goal by Terry Butcher. Able to call on divine intervention when required. Two world-cup gold medals, a bag of cocaine and five hookers at the Dorchester!
