All stats on this page will auto-update

All Time Top Goalscorers

Unfortunately, there isn't a crystal clear list of the top goalscorers of all time because the records and stats of players from decades past are patchy and incomplete, in addition to varying definitions of which goals should count.

The two most frequently shared all time top scorer lists are courtesy of IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics) and RSSSF (Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation).

IFFHS All Time Top Goalscorers List

The IFFHS list takes into account only goals scored in "top-level competitions", which discounts youth goals and goals scored in regional competitions by players such as Josef Bican.

RSSSF All Time Top Goalscorers List

The RSSSF list takes into account goals scored in competitions at all levels. The + indicates that some matches are unaccounted for and so the number of goals/matches could be higher.
