Biography
About
Arthur Friedenreich was born on 18 July 1892 and played as a forward for Brazil and a string of São Paulo clubs. Nicknamed The Tiger and Golden Foot, he dominated the state championship there, taking the top scorer title a record nine times. The career total that haunts his name — somewhere in the stratosphere, depending who's counting — comes from an era when match records were thin and unofficial games blurred with real ones. He died on 6 September 1969, leaving a number that refuses to settle.
