Napoli's Top-10 All-Time Leading GoalScorers

#6 - Jose Altafini, 97 Goals | 1965-1972

Jose Altafini had a keen eye for goal

Often regarded as the most complete striker of his generation, it was at the tender age of 24, that the great José João Altafini scored his 100th Serie A goal. From AC Milan to Napoli, and Juventus, the Brazil-born poacher scored a total of 216 Serie A goals, but 71 of those came during his Stadio San Paolo years, and his contributions in a Napoli shirt remain worthy of mention.

Electrifying pace, razor-sharp goalscoring instincts, insane ball control techniques, Altafini had it all and would even enjoy the luxury of representing both Brazil and Italy at different world cups, perhaps a true testament to his legacy as a Milan and Napoli legend.

For Napoli fans, fond memories of his acrobatic beauty against Torino on the eve of 1968 will always arise when the subject of goalscoring is discussed in the football-obsessed street corners of Naples.

The next time you hear someone scream 'Golazzo', that's probably the voice of Altafini on one of Italy's very popular TV football channels.
