Fontaine wasn't even the best player in his own team...

Because I thought it weird that France '58 would have two but Sweden '58 zero.Then why didn't you second him after I did this?

Well, no, but he was the star of 1962 - and had two assists in the 1958 final.
Fontaine scored mainly meaningless goals (Four in a third place play-off ffs.) for an inferior team. He's a name in the record books more than a legend imo.

Ha, you wait all comp for a casting vote and then two come along at once. Locked up at 6-6, so my decider goes to Garrincha. Make a point of never voting against illiterate alcoholics who've buggered a goat.
