Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leads the way for the most headers scored by a single player in club football since 2000.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is believed to be the outright leading goalscorer of all time, with Ronaldo plundering a whopping 803 goals in his illustrious career.

Ronaldo’s staggering 803-goal tally places him well clear of the likes of Brazil legend Pele (765), Lionel Messi (758) and Slavia Prague icon Josef Bican (720).

The 36-year-old Portuguese superstar also surpassed Iran legend Ali Daei to become the all-time goalscorer in international football.
