I didn't really know much about these players until now. Amazing records...
Josef Bican
Josef "Pepi" Bican was a Czech-Austrian football striker. It is estimated by footballing statistics page RSSSF that Bican scored around 800 goals (670 goals in 406 league appearances according to wiki) all competitive matches, not including friendly games. This would make him the all-time most prolific scorer in football history known to date. He was a member of the Austrian Wunderteam of the 1930s and was the season's highest scorer in the whole of Europe on five separate occasions. Bican had the ability to play with both feet, he also had considerable pace and was able to run 100 metres in 10.8 seconds, which was as fast as many sprinters of the time. The IFFHS awarded Bican the "Golden Ball" as the greatest goalscorer of the last century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Bican
Franz Binder
Nicknamed Bimbo, Binder was a prolific goalscorer who played for SK Rapid Wien. He won the national Austrian championship four times and was three times top goalscorer in the Austrian league. In 1941 he also won the German championship with a 4–3 victory against Schalke 04, when he scored three goals. In his whole career he would score 1006 goals in 756 matches. Internationally he represented the Austria national football team (19 caps, 16 goals), and the Germany national football team (9 caps, 10 goals). With an average-score of 1.33 goals per match, it would be a world record, so Binder would have been one of few players, scoring more than 1000 goals in his career. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Binder
Arthur Friedenreich
Friedenreich was born in São Paulo, to a German businessman who immigrated to Brazil and an African-Brazilian washerwoman, the daughter of freed slaves. Friedenreich was the first professional football player of Afro-Brazilian origin, because at that time football was dominated by Whites and Blacks were not accepted. He faced many barriers because of racism, and he could not attend the same places where white players were, such as swimming pools, tennis courts and parties. His exact number of games and goals is not known. Friedenreich is reported to have scored 1329 goals in 1239 games. However, Pelé fans argue he scored 1239 in 1329 games. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Friedenreich
Fernando Peyroteo
Born in Humpata, Huíla Province, Portuguese Angola, Peyroteo arrived at Sporting Clube de Portugal on 26 June 1937. He went on to be part of the club's offensive line that included Albano, Jesus Correia, Travassos and Manuel Vasques and was dubbed the Cinco Violinos (Five Violins), scoring 34 goals in only 14 games in his first year to win both the Lisbon Championship and the Taça de Portugal, then named Portuguese Championship. He played his entire career with Sporting, scoring 544 goals (331 goals in 197 league appearances) all games comprised (friendlies included), winning eleven major titles and being crowned his country's top division scorer on six occasions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Peyroteo
