The best scorer ever in a WC Just Fontaine has passed away.
He reached a C1 final with Reims (losing to Real Madrid's Di Stefano, Puskas and Kopa).
And of course he came to that 58 WC as a backup and after an injury was pushed as starter. He clicked with Kopa and finished with 13 goals in 6 games. All with boots that weren't his!
Always humble he refused to talk about his record.
That seems like an unbeatable record, especially given how the game has evolved.
With that said, Platini's 84 Euro record (9 goals in 5 games) was scored in a period where offensive football wasn't great.
