# Silvio Piola

> The only player to retire as the all-time top scorer for three different Serie A clubs. Piola's 290 first-division goals — a record that still stands — came across two decades when defending was a religion and pitches were mud.

## Bio

Born in 1913, Piola turned professional as a striker in an era when Italian football was still finding its shape. He broke through at Pro Vercelli, then moved to Lazio, racking up goals with a consistency that defied the war-interrupted seasons and the brutal marking of the time. In 1938 he scored twice in the World Cup final as Italy took the trophy, finishing the tournament as second-top scorer. He kept playing into the postwar years, adding a stint at Novara and pushing his Serie A tally to 274 goals — a mark no one has touched since. When he retired he'd scored 364 in official competitions, 682 if you count everything. He died in 1996; within two years, stadiums in Novara and Vercelli both carried his name.
