Just Fontaine was one of the finest French strikers of all-time. With 13 goals during the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, Fontaine holds the record for most goals at a single World Cup, which he achieved in six games. He averaged 2.17 goals per game in Sweden that summer.

The Les Bleus striker has played only 21 games for his national team and scored 30 goals. He was ruthless in front of goal throughout his career and was one of the most feared strikers during the 1950's.

Unfortunately, his career was cut short because of a recurring leg injury and forced to retire at the age of 28.

In 2004, he was named as one of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers on the occasion of FIFA’s 100th anniversary.
