In a post, UTDTrey wondered why fewer people talk about the player who is now late.
The player was none other than Josef Bican who scored 805 goals in 530 matches.
UTDTrey asked:
“805 goals in 530 matches yet no one knows has any idea who he is.”
Bican is so great that an article in Inside FIFA described him as the master marksman.
The article reads:
“Ever heard of Josef Bican? If you have actually seen him play, then you are probably a hundred years old or will be soon. Otherwise, you may have seen his name in books about football history and its stats, because the Vienna native is one of the game’s all-time leading marksmen with an estimated 805 goals during a career that lasted from 1931 to ’55. Yet for all of that, his name and accomplishments remain relatively unknown.
“On the anniversary of his birth on 25 September 1913, FIFA.com portrays this fascinating legend, who played at the 1934 FIFA World Cup Italy™ with his native Austria before switching allegiances to his adopted homeland, Czechoslovakia.”
Bican died in 2001, but the history books still remember him.
