Goalscorers Final Table

FINAL TABLE

Only takes into account goalscoring ability. Doesn't take into account asists and playmaking abilities. This is why great players such as George Best, Denis Bergkamp, Sandro Mazzola and Bobby Charlton score low in this study. And why great finishers like Gerd Muller and Gigi Riva, extremely eficients in the box as poachers, top the ranking.
