Article
Josef "Pepi" Bican (25 September 1913 – 12 December 2001) was an Austrian and Czech professional footballer who played as a striker. He is regarded by some to be the greatest goalscorer in the history of the sport. He is considered by RSSSF as the third-most prolific goalscorer in history after Erwin Helmchen and Cristiano Ronaldo, with over 950 goals scored in 624 official matches. He scored 591 goals in 301 official games for Slavia Prague across his 11-year playing career at the club.
Bican began his professional career at Rapid Vienna in 1931. After four years at Rapid, he moved to local rivals Admira Vienna. Bican won four league titles during his time in Austria, moved to Slavia Prague in 1937, where he stayed until 1948, and became the club's all-time top goalscorer. He later played for Vítkovice, Hradec Králové, and Dynamo Prague, retiring in 1955 as the all-time top goalscorer in the Czechoslovak First League with 447 goals. According to UEFA, the governing body for European football, he is the leading all-time goalscorer in European top-flight leagues with 518 goals (447 in Czechoslovakia and 71 in Austria), narrowly ahead of Hungarian Ferenc Puskás.
