  • Jairzinho, Brazil, World Cup

Jairzinho scores in every round of the World Cup.

Jair Ventura Filho, better known as Jairzinho, was capped 81 times by Brazil and scored 33 goals – seven of which he netted in the memorable 1970 World Cup.

This was the tournament when Brazil were in their pomp and Jairzinho was instrumental in leading the Samba boys to their third tournament success.

His seven goals in six games made him one of only three players to score in every round of the tournament and cement his position as one of the greatest players the world has ever seen.
