Ranking the 10 players with the best goal-to-game ratio in football history

#4 Imre Schlosser: 1.24 goals per game | Ferencvarosi, Hungary

Making his debut just four days before his 17th birthday, Imre Schlosser went on to score a mind-boggling 258 goals in 155 league appearances for Ferencvarosi. He turned out for the club for 11 seasons.

After that, the Hungarian legend transferred to three other clubs, eventually coming back to Ferencvarosi. Schlosser scored a total of 417 goals in 320 league appearances throughout his career.

Although his league stats are accurate, cup competitions and other continental competitions have disputable stats. However, RSSSF have set Schlosser's numbers at 569 goals in 458 appearances overall. His entire 23-year career saw the legend win a total of 13 Hungarian League trophies with two different clubs.

#3 Franz Binder: 1.32 goals per game | Rapid Wien, Austria

Bimbo was, without a doubt, the most prolific goalscorer in Austria's history. Franz Binder dedicated his 18-year career to Rapid Wien and played 242 league games while scoring a shocking 267 goals. His total official numbers are currently disputed, as Binder claimed to have scored over 1000 goals in just 756 games. However, these numbers include unofficial games.

The RSSSF put his official numbers at 569 goals in 430 games, although it is believed that Binder scored more than this. Internationally, the star represented both Austria and Germany respectively, scoring 26 goals in just 28 games. Franz Binder notably won eight trophies during his career, including four Austrian Football Bundesliga titles.

#2 Josef Bican: 1.52 goals per game | Slavia Prague, Austria-Czechoslovakia

Regarded as the most prolific goalscorer of the 20th century, Josef Bican's recorded goals and games are currently under dispute. While the RSSSF sets his goalscoring stats at a mind-numbing 948 goals from 621 matches, FIFA recognizes only 805 goals. Irrespective, the numbers are quite insane, and another player may never achieve these levels of clinical goalscoring again.

Although Bican played for 9 clubs through the course of his career, his most notable period were the 11 years he spent at Slavia Prague. The star managed an absurd 427 goals in only 221 league games for Slavia, averaging a shocking 1.9 goals per game in the league.

#1 Fernando Peyroteo: 1.58 goals per game | Sporting, Portugal

544 goals in 334 games for Sporting saw the Portuguese legend Fernando Peyroteo cement his place as the most prolific and consistent goalscorer of all time. His 15 goals in 20 international games for Portugal are also great, but they can hardly compare to the massive goalscoring ethic Peyroteo had in his 11 years at Sporting. Although he scored 43 goals during his last season at the club, the legendary striker - aged 31 - decided it was time to hang up his boots.

The star powered Sporting to 11 major titles, achieving a brilliant average of one title per year. But it is Peyroteo's epic goalscoring average of 1.58 goals per game that raised the star to legendary status with the club. Just slightly higher than Josef Bican's record, Peyroteo's spree might never be accomplished by another player in football again.
