Cornel88: Godfrey "UCAR" Chitalu was a Zambian footballer who holds a record Lionel Messi will never have. Chitalu scored and outrageous 107 goals in all competitions in a single season- a record that is still uninterrupted. Why is Godfrey Chitalu's record never recognised? One million dollar question.

calendar year not full season...next time know what you write about and dont come hear pooing trash.the record is for goals scored from january to december, not for a seasion mtchwwwwwww

nedu2000: D goal calculations work for only UEFA,but for FIFA a goal is a goal!!!.....all teams & goals have the same value,if it wasn't then an african/asian team should've their goals multiplied as well whenever they score a european team

Naija_pikin 1: Even if they (FIFA) knew,they would have ignored the record. Am an arsenal fan,but i believe that didier drogba should be among those vying for the ballon d‘or. Just look at the list. Iniesta and messi that didnt lift a trophy last season, and ronaldo who won the la liga. Can u compare this to the champions league?. Its just absolute rubbish!

ehispapa: calendar year not full season...next time know what you write about and dont come hear pooing trash.the record is for goals scored from january to december, not for a seasion mtchwwwwwww

nedu2000: african leagues start from january and are completed in the same year,unlike europe......so the argument is still valid

manosteel: If he was that good, how come his name is not popular, and how come many of us don't know about him. Looking at the picture, i guess the big star as you would want us to believe was playing in an empty stadium. If i may ask, where did he score his goals? UEFA? Premiership? Laliga? Because it is very easy for one to stay in his village and scores 1000 goals, Infact it is not even equivalent to one goal in Laliga or UEFA.

born2fuck: Chelsea have never supported any good things since their 50 millions fernando torres fail to score 15 goals a season in chelsea , 9 different coaches in 9 season, what do you expect from lunatic champion, imagine a mad man winning 100 meter race just as a chelsea won the champion league, they will never know the value and they prove the worth by sacking their Di Mateo, not even a season contract completed.... They are the one against messi progress

earthgreeners:

bros lets call a spade a spade...those who watched him play in 1972 are still alive to testify

honeric01:

The problem here is that most of the 107 goals can't be verified or is there a way to verify these goals?

caukerzee: you could as well say torres deserves the ballon d or. He won euros and UCL. Geoge best and romario didnt lift a trophy when they won it. Or you could say aguero should win the ballon dor since he won the leauge like ronaldo. Come up with a more constructive argument....NEXT PLEASE.

paranod123: Re Read what you post dude he only score 107 in single season not year calender full season always LAPS A YEAR CALENDER SEASON END THE SECOND YEAR

Naija_pikin 1: its obvious dat ur spaekin from a myopic barcelona point of view. Am an arsenal fan but more im portantly am a football fan, u sit there blind folded by a one-legged dwarf who can never play effectivly outside barca, cos he has xavi and iniesta to throw passes at him. I dont blame u, its dat idiotic platini thats always backin u up i blame. Fyi, am not a fan of wenger.

samuelee1:

Oga analyser, for the record, the Ballon D'or is not necessarily given to the player that wins the biggest trophy, its merited on pure class, and who told you Messi and Iniesta didn't win any trophy last season ( Spanish Super copa, Uefa Super Cup, Fifa club world cup and Copa del rey). Get your facts right.

Naija_pikin 1: my bad, barca won d copa del rey and dats all. My friend if he should use it to win a trophy for his country na, better stil let him go there are no xavis and iniestas to spoon feed him wit passes and do better,ronaldo has don it. My poins is dat dis awards r biased. Arsenal(my club) went trophyless and adebayo stil took d african footballer award, haba!

samuelee1:

You sound like you're jealous of Messi. Haven't you heard about players who spent their career at one club and were still successful? Would you as an individual leave your job in an oil company to work as a petrol attendant? I'm sure if messi leaves barcelona/wins the world cup, you'll still find something to discredit him.

Mathew joseph: No b only chitalu,na chinwetalu agu.ewu somalia.

solomonkane:

Does that one sound like someone who can work in a company? Abeg bone the guy, na street urchin wey dey find means to upgrade o.

sia-indeed:
My guy, don't worry abt Godfrey Chitalu's unrecognised unprecedented goals' record, it will be set by Messi once FIFA has officially recognised it. Shikene!!!
