Fontaine's 68-Year-Old World Cup Record
History celebrated the achievement of Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in the 1958 World Cup edition—a record that still stands today. Fontaine was an unexpected French player to become the tournament's star, as his shoe was damaged before the competition began, and he was loaned a teammate Stefan Brugge's shoe to get through that crisis. During the tournament, Fontaine scored remarkably in six matches, including a hat-trick in his first game and a goal in the unofficial final, cementing his name in the World Cup records.
