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.

PopFoot has now compiled data on the top 20 players who have scored the most headers in club football this century, with Ronaldo coming out on top of the pile.

Ronaldo has scored a whopping 110 times with headers, with the Portugal captain widely revered for his remarkable heading ability.
