Most goals in a single World Cup
One scoring record looks untouchable: the most goals by a player at a single World Cup.
| Player | Goals | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Just Fontaine (France) | 13 | 1958 |
| Sándor Kocsis (Hungary) | 11 | 1954 |
| Gerd Müller (W. Germany) | 10 | 1970 |
| Eusébio (Portugal) | 9 | 1966 |
Fontaine's 13 in 1958 has stood for over six decades. Modern Golden Boots usually top out around 6–8.
