## Bio

Just Louis Fontaine was born on 18 August 1933 and built his career as a striker in French football. The summer of 1958 turned him into a statistical immortal: across six matches at that year's World Cup, he found the net thirteen times, a pace no one has matched in the tournament's history since. The record held for the rest of his life and cemented his place in the game's memory. In March 2004, Pelé included him among his 125 Greatest Living Footballers at a FIFA ceremony. Fontaine died on 28 February 2023, leaving behind a mark in the record books that remains untouched.
