Just Fontaine

JUST IN TIME!

Old-school France football great Just Fontaine has died aged 89. His sole World Cup appearance in 1958 was the stuff of legend – in synergy with Raymond Kopa, Fontaine was a goalscoring machine in match after match before France ran into the Brazil brick wall in the semis. Fontaine had four more goals in store during the third place bout against Germany, ending the tournament with a record 13 goals to his name. Over 64 years later, his record for most goals scored by a player in a single Cup still stands, and if you extend the criteria to include all Cups the footballer played in, he remains in the top four. Four further goals come for Amanita virosa, Death Becomes Them, and two theme teams.
