Just Fontaine's World Cup Record and Career-Ending Injury

Legendary footballer Just Fontaine set an almost unbreakable record by scoring 13 goals in a single World Cup tournament in 1958. Despite this extraordinary achievement, Fontaine never played in the World Cup again.

Severe injuries forced him to retire from professional football at the young age of 28. This premature end to a brilliant career was met with great sadness across the sports world.
