Top 5 players with more than 500 goals for one club
500 goals for a club! It is a staggering number, considering the amount of time, effort and games it might take a footballer to reach there. It is even more astonishing in modern day football, given the kind of money, loyalty, and expectations.
These strikers have ruled the game for years and we only have a solitary player on this list, whom we have seen playing. Cristiano Ronaldo may eventually reach the milestone if he stays fit at Real Madrid for a couple of more years.
There is no definite answer to who are the greatest footballers of all-time, but, everyone on this list will definitely be a part of that answer. There are quite a few players who have scored more than 500 goals for a single club and here in this article, we will see the top 5.
#5 Gerd Muller (Bayern Munich, 525 goals)
Arguably the greatest footballer from Europe, Muller is one of the main reasons why Bayern Munich are the footballing power they are now. 1970 Ballon d'Or winner has led Germany to the FIFA World Cup success in 1974.
The German was a part of the Bayern Munich side that lifted four Bundesliga titles, four DFB-Pokal, and three European Cup. The two times German Footballer of the Year was the top scorer in Bundesliga on seven occasions.
Muller was considerably short and his low center of gravity allowed him to turn quickly at speed and with perfect balance. His pace, acceleration, and aerial prowess made him a difficult player to defend against.
Gerd Muller has scored 525 goals for Bayern Munich from 573 games. His unerring finishing ability and killer instincts in front of goal made him one of the greatest strikers in world football.
