Who is Josef Bican, the former top scorer in history?

"Pepi", as he was nicknamed, was born in Vienna, Austro-Hungarian Empire on September 25, 1913, and decided to approach soccer thanks to his father's influence. 

This is how the career of one of the greatest figures in the history of soccer began, and today we will review his 3 best goals. 

3. The generational duel

"Pepi" started playing soccer for Rapid Vienna in the youth teams and also played for the teams of the companies he worked for.

The striker made his debut in the First Division in 1931, shortly before his 18th birthday, in a generational duel with the top player of the time, Matthias Sindelar. 

Although "Pepi's" club lost the derby against Austria by a score of 3-5, Bican scored three goals against his idol's team, the last of which was a feat when he disarmed the opposing defense to get in front of the goal and score his club's last goal of the match. 

2. A World-Class Goal

His unstoppable progress on the field led him to become an undisputed international with the Austrian national team, with whom he would play in the 1934 World Cup in Italy, where he would score the next goal that would be a milestone in his career. 

In the match against the French national team, Bican saw two of the dreams that many soccer players dream of all their lives come true: to play in a World Cup and to do it with your idol by your side, since Matthias Sindelar himself was part of the Austrian national team.

The match was won by France from the 18th minute, with a goal by Jean Nicolas. Sindelar equalized the match 1-1 in the 44th minute and Anton Schall scored the 2-1 in favor of Austria. 

However, in the 109th minute, Bican scored a superb goal in extra time to make it 3-1, and although Georges Verriest scored in the 116th minute, the match was already sealed with Bican's goal. 

1. Consolidation with Slavia Prague

It was in this club where the legend of "Pepi" would reach historic levels, as he would score 395 goals in 217 games, but it would be the last goal scored for this club in 1948 that would be considered the best in his career in this club. 

As always, Bican received a pass from his teammates, and with the ball at his feet, he dribbled past the defenders who were trying to mark him in vain, to shoot at the goal and score what would be his farewell goal for Slavia.
