A forward, he scored the most goals in a single edition of the FIFA World Cup, with thirteen in six matches in 1958.[2] In March 2004, Pelé named him one of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers at a FIFA Awards Ceremony.[3]Football career[edit]Born in Marrakech, French Morocco, to a French father and a Spanish mother,[4] Fontaine moved to Casablanca, where he attended the Lycée Lyautey.Fontaine began his amateur career at USM Casablanca, where he played from 1950 to 1953. Nice recruited him in 1953, and he went on to score 44 goals in three seasons for the club. In 1956, he moved to Stade de Reims, where he teamed up with Raymond Kopa from the 1959–60 season. Fontaine scored 121 goals in six seasons at Stade de Reims. In total, Fontaine scored 165 goals in 200 matches in the Ligue 1, and won the championship twice, one time in 1958, and the other in 1960. He also took part in the team that got to the 1958–59 European Cup final against Real Madrid, being that season's top scorer with ten goals.[5]Wearing the blue shirt of France, Fontaine has an even more impressive record. On his debut on 17 December 1953, Fontaine scored a hat trick as France defeated Luxembourg 8–0. In seven years, he scored 30 goals in 21 matches. However, he will best be remembered for his 1958 FIFA World Cup performance, where he scored 13 goals in just six matches – a feat that included putting four past defending champions West Germany. It was also the highest number of goals ever scored by one player at a single World Cup tournament – a record that still stands as of 2022.[6][7] This tally secured him the Golden Boot.[8] As of 2022, he is tied with Lionel Messi as the fourth-top scorer in FIFA World Cup history, with each of the three ahead of him - Gerd Müller (14 goals), Ronaldo (15 goals) and Miroslav Klose (16 goals) - having played in at least two tournaments.[9]Fontaine played his last match in July 1962, being forced to retire early (28 years and 11 months old) because of a recurring injury. He briefly managed the France national team in 1967, but was replaced after only two friendly games, which ended in defeats. As coach of Morocco, he led the Atlas Lions to 3rd in the 1980 African Cup of Nations,[10] overseeing the emergence of such players as Badou Zaki, Mohammed Timoumi and Aziz Bouderbala. Morocco reached the final stage of 1982 World Cup qualifying but were beaten by Cameroon. As sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain F.C., he managed to take the club to help promote the club to the first division.[5]After retirement[edit]Fontaine was named by Pelé as one of the 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004. He was chosen as the best French player of the last 50 years by the French Football Federation in the UEFA Jubilee Awards in November 2003.[11] With Eugène N'Jo Léa he founded the National Union of Professional Football Players in 1961. He criticized the performance of the French team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, particularly on the lackluster play of the forwards.[12] Fontaine died in Toulouse, where he had lived for 60 years, on 1 March 2023 at the age of 89.[5][9][13]Career statistics[edit]Club[edit]Appearances and goals by club, season and competitionClubSeasonLeagueCupContinentalOtherTotalDivisionAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsUSM Casablanca1950–51Moroccan Football League1623———16231951–52Moroccan Football League1017———10171952–53Moroccan Football League2222———2222Total4862———4862Nice1953–54French Division 1241773——31201954–55French Division 1282042——32221955–56French Division 117534—1[a]0219Total6942149—108451Reims1956–57French Division 1313011——32311957–58French Division 1263465——32391958–59French Division 13224227[b]101[c]042361959–60French Division 1282822——30301960–61French Division 174001[b]0—841961–62French Division 17213——85Total131122121381010152145Career total248226262281020284258^ Appearance in Challenge des Champions^ Jump up to:a b Appearances in European Cup^ Appearance in Coupe Charles DragoInternational[edit]Appearances and goals by national team and year[14]National teamYearAppsGoalsFrance19531319540019550019561019571019581218195947196022Total2130Scores and results list France's goal tally first, score column indicates score after each Fontaine goal[15]List of international goals scored by Just FontaineNo.DateVenueCapOpponentScoreResultCompetition117 December 1953Parc des Princes, Paris, France1 Luxembourg4–08–01954 FIFA World Cup qualification26–037–0413 March 1958Parc des Princes, Paris, France4 Spain1–12–2Friendly58 June 1958Idrottsparken, Norrköping, Sweden6 Paraguay1–17–31958 FIFA World Cup62–175–3811 June 1958Arosvallen, Västerås, Sweden7 Yugoslavia1–02–31958 FIFA World Cup92–21015 June 1958Eyravallen, Örebro, Sweden8 Scotland2–02–11958 FIFA World Cup1119 June 1958Idrottsparken, Norrköping, Sweden9 Northern Ireland2–04–01958 FIFA World Cup123–01324 June 1958Råsunda Stadium, Solna, Sweden10 Brazil1–12–51958 FIFA World Cup1428 June 1958Ullevi, Gothenburg, Sweden11 West Germany1–06–31958 FIFA World Cup153–1165–2176–3181 October 1958Parc des Princes, Paris, France12 Greece2–07–1UEFA Euro 1960 qualifiers196–1205 October 1958Praterstadion, Vienna, Austria13 Austria2–12–1Friendly219 November 1958Stade Olympique de Colombes, Colombes, France15 Italy2–22–2Friendly2211 November 1959Stade Olympique de Colombes, Colombes, France17 Portugal1–05–3Friendly234–2245–22513 December 1959Stade Olympique de Colombes, Colombes, France18 Austria1–05–2UEFA Euro 1960 qualifiers262–0274–22817 December 1959Parc des Princes, Paris, France19 Spain2–14–3Friendly2916 March 1960Parc des Princes, Paris, France20 Chile4–06–0Friendly305–0Honours[edit]Nice[16]French Division 1: 1955–56Coupe de France: 1953–54Reims[16]French Division 1: 1957–58, 1959–60, 1961–62Coupe de France: 1957–58Trophée des Champions: 1958, 1960European Cup: runner-up 1958–59France[16]FIFA World Cup third place: 1958IndividualBallon d'Or third-place: 1958Golden Foot: 2003, as a football legend[17]FIFA World Cup Golden Boot: 1958French Division top scorer: 1957–58, 1959–60European Cup top scorer: 1958–59[5]FIFA 100: 2004
