Ferenc Puskas scored goals at a jaw-dropping rate

We are well-acquainted with how Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have revolutionised goalscoring. But before they played their parts, a certain giant named Ferenc Puskas contributed importantly in the evolution of that art.

The captain of Hungary's team well-known as 'Mighty Magyars', Puskas isn't known for scoring oodles of goals, but the rate at which he scored them.

The Real Madrid legend found the net 622 times in just 629 appearances. He also showcased his lethal brilliance at goalscoring on the international level, netting 84 goals in 85 games for Hungary. And for all those who don't know, Puskas was declared as the greatest goalscorer of the 20th century by IFFHS. He was also honoured by FIFA, who named the Goal of the Year award after him.

With the rate at which he scored goals, it's safe to admit that Ferenc Puskas was probably the deadliest goalscorer in the history of football.
