Just Fontaine — 13 goals, France 1958
13 goals in 6 games. The untouchable record. France's forgotten scoring genius.
Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in just 6 games at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, a tournament total that remains the highest of any player in a single World Cup — outperforming Gerd Müller by 3 goals. The record has stood for nearly 70 years, and a 2.17 goals-per-game average suggests it is likely permanent. Had France reached the final, Fontaine could have extended his tally even further.
