10 greatest strikers of all time

#8. Romário

Romario was clinical in his approach, especially in the penalty area. In 2004, they named him in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players. He was awarded 'FIFA Golden Ball' in the 1994 World Cup. Johan Cruyff, his coach at Barcelona, described him as a "genius of the goal area."

Romario played 220 club matches and scored 165 goals. He also represented Brazil in 41 matches with 31 goals and 3 assists.They nicknamed him Baixinho ( “The Little One”) for his short stature. When asked to comment on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, he said: "They have both won titles and the Ballon d'Or, but, modestly speaking, I can say that I was better than them in the penalty area."

They named him in the 'FIFA World Cup Dream Team' in 2002.

#7. Sandor Kocsis

Sandor Kocsis was a Hungarian football player who played for FC Barcelona, Young Fellows Zurich, and other clubs as a striker. He was a prolific goalscorer and emerged as a top scorer in Europe between 1952 and 1954.

He played 40 club matches and scored 23 goals. For Hungary, he played 68 matches and scored 75 goals. Kocsis registered seven hat-tricks for his national side. He was famous for his headers and razor-sharp footballing brain. They nicknamed him "The Man with the Golden Head."

An interesting anecdote of his commitment was the fact he could not dress properly after the game against Uruguay in the semi-final of the 1954 World Cup because he was so drained in scoring the two deciding goals against the opposition.

Kocsis scored 11 goals in five games of the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland.
