WORLD CUP RECORDS (Part 27) - BEST ONE EDITION GOAL SCORER
Picture : Just Fontaine and his fantastic record !
Best One-Edition goal-scorer: Just Fontaine
Just Fontaine set in 1958 his “eternal” record: 13 goals in a single World Cup edition. It's still impossible to believe that anyone can ever beat his record.
Over the last 20 years (after Ronaldo scored 8 at the 2002 World Cup), no one can score even 7 goals for one tournament.
