Stats: Top 5 Goal Scorers in FIFA World Cup History 2

One of the most underrated strikers during his time, Just Fontaine set ablaze the 1958 world cup edition. He participated in only one world cup but he left his mark on the mega tournament.

Representing France, Fontaine scored an unbelievable 13 goals in just 6 games in 1958. This made him the fourth highest goal scorer of all time in world cup history.

Although, he spent all his life in France playing for Nice and Reims in top flight, Fontaine will be long cherished for his unique feat. He still holds the record for most goals by a single player in a single edition.
