Ever since modern football has really started to count, stepping into the era of individualized performance, fans and analysts have longed for the ability to compare and rely on reliable data. However, it remains a wishful thinking as the 1,281 goals attributed to Pelé by FIFA are not deemed to be serious. More than 500 of these goals were allegedly scored during Santos’ world tour, where the Brazilian club played friendly matches against prestigious or uncertain teams on consecutive nights. This calls into question the validity of the record, leaving football enthusiasts yearning for a more accurate and trustworthy way to measure players’ achievements.
