Fernando Peyroteo
Portugal’s leading man had his hopes dashed as the Second World War kicked off. Therefore Fernando Peyroteo never played in a World Cup tournament. 10+ years with Sporting Lisbon earned him 543 goals in just 334 games – impressive? We’d say so! Peyroteo still has a goal-to-game ratio that is untouched. Yup, that’s also impressive.
Dennis Bergkamp
Let’s head to the Netherlands real quick. Dennis Bergkamp made 79 appearances from 1990 to 2000, earning 37 goals along the way. The Dutch lost in the quarterfinals at the 1994 World Cup and also in the semifinals in 1998. Originally he played a a wide midfielder, he was converted to the “trequartista” role by Arsene Wenger which helped to control Arsenal’s attacking play from the crucial position.
