Just Fontaine

13 goals in one tournament — 1958 Sweden. The record no one will ever break.

Just Fontaine’s 13 goals in the 1958 World Cup remain the highest single-tournament total in history, a record that has stood for 66 years. Fontaine also assisted 2 goals in that tournament, earning the Golden Boot by a margin of 7 goals over second-place Helmut Rahn. France finished third, yet his output alone matched the goal tally of entire teams like Sweden, who placed second with 12 goals.
