10 legends that didn't get the credit they deserved

#2 Fernando Peyroteo

Peyroteo still has one of the best goals per game ratio

Born in Portuguese West Africa, or as it is known today, Angola, Fernando Peyroteo was a striker that terrorised Portuguese defences in the 40’s while playing for Sporting CP.

Being a fairly unknown name in today’s game, Peyroteo is definitely one of the best players football has ever seen, still holding to this day all kinds of goal records. He is the player with the best goals/games ratio in the history of club football with 1.68 goals per game, scoring 332 times in 197 league matches for Sporting (544 in 334 in all competitions) and also 15 in 20 for the Portuguese national team.

No one to this day came close to his goal scoring feats and it’s unlikely that someone ever will. It’s fair to say the man deserves a bit more recognition.
