The Highest Scoring Players In Every Single Position Have Been Revealed

A list of the highest scoring footballers for every position has been revealed.

The list features some legendary names and cult heroes who are best known the the sheer amount of goals they score.

Topping the list overall is unsurprisingly the legendary Pele, with 727 goals in his 21 year career.

Check out the full list below.

Goalkeeper - Rogerio Ceni (131 goals in 1990 - 2015)

Right-back - Graham Alexander (107 goals from 1988 - 2012)

Centre-back - Ronald Koeman (253 goals from 1980 - 1997)

Left-back - Paul Breitner (113 goals from 1970 - 1983)

Right central midfield/Central midfield - Frank Lampard (274 goals from 1995 - 2016)

Left-midfield - John Wark (223 goals from 1975 - 1997)

Winger - Cristiano Ronaldo - (539 goals from 2002 - present)

Striker - Pele (727 goals from 1956-1977)

The most interesting name on the list is Brazilian goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni.

He started taking set-pieces for Sau Paulo in 1997 and continued to do so until his retirement in 2015.

He played over 1000 games in his 25 year career and his record will likely never be matched.

Current Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman features in defence, with over 200 goals.

One prolific season came in the 1987/88 season when he scored 26 goals for PSV from centre-back.

It comes as no shock that Pele and Ronaldo are at the top of the goalscoring charts considering their reputations.

Pele's goalscoring record has become an urban legend among football fans but his legendary status cannot be questioned.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, is still active and begun 2020 in scintillating form.

The Portuguese international had a poor 2019 and came third in the Ballon d'Or rankings behind Lionel Messi and Virgil van Dijk.

But he rebounded in 2020 and saw his side locked in an intense title challenge with Lazio before coronavirus halted the football season.

Juventus are currently one point ahead of Lazio in Serie A.

Who do you think will go down as football's greatest ever goalscorer?
