The RSSSF credits Bican with 948 goals, a tally which includes goals scored in winter tournaments, as well as when selected to represent regional and city teams, and the Football Association of the Czech Republic claims a total of 821. UEFA, the governing body for European football, ranks him as the leading all-time goalscorer in European top-flight leagues with 518 goals, narrowly ahead of Hungarian Ferenc Puskás. įIFA, the international governing body of football, has never released a list detailing the highest goalscorers and does not keep official records in 2020, it recognised Bican, an Austrian-Czech dual international who played between the 1930s and the 1950s, as the record scorer with an estimated 805 goals, although CNN, the BBC, France 24, and O Jogo all acknowledge that Bican's tally includes goals scored for reserve teams and in unofficial international matches. Of these eight, Messi scored the most, with 672 goals between his debut in 2004 and his departure in 2021. Eight players have accomplished the feat at a single club, among them Josef Bican ( Slavia Prague), Jimmy Jones ( Glenavon), Jimmy McGrory ( Celtic), Lionel Messi ( Barcelona), Gerd Müller ( Bayern Munich), Pelé ( Santos), Fernando Peyroteo ( Sporting CP), and Uwe Seeler ( Hamburg). Hungarian Imre Schlosser was the first to reach the 500-goal mark, doing so in 1927 shortly before his retirement. Taking into account competitions of all levels, 72 players have reached the milestone according to research by the RSSSF, an organisation described by German newspaper Der Spiegel as a "Wikipedia of football statistics". In top-level association football competitions, 23 players have scored 500 or more goals over the course of their career in both club and international football, according to research by the IFFHS, first published in 2007. Cristiano Ronaldo is widely considered the top goalscorer of all time.
