Explanation

At the World Cup finals in Germany in 1974 Gerd Müller scored a goal in the final. This was his 14th goal at World Cup finals (10 goals in 1970 and four goals in 1974). Therefore he beat Just Fontaines record of total 13 goals (all goals scored in 1954). The record was in 2006 beaten by Ronaldo as he scored the 15th goal for Brazil in a World Cup finals.
