1: Michel Platini
Goals scored – 9
Matches played – 5
Goal average – 1.80
Michel Platini may be out of favour with the football world now but the mark he left on Euro 1984 cannot be ignored. He deserves first place on the list not only for leading his country to victory but because of the personal triumph that it also was.
He bagged 9 out of the 14 goals scored by France in the tournament. His frequent goal scoring was also a great way for the captain to lead his team.
He scored when it was most crucial - the winner in their first match of the group stage, a hat-trick against Belgium and was instrumental in their goals in the semi-final and final. Surely no other single player has had such a monumental impact on their national side’s campaign during the course of one tournament.
