Godfrey Chitalu's record was verify but wasn't on FIFA record. Zambian FA provided evidence which where backed by major part of the press. You can see an evidence with the pics I posted earlier. This makes you ask yourself if african league is recognise by FIFA. Muller's record was noted down but Chitalu's own was not, under the same earth. Makes you wonder why Muhammed Abouterika wasn't nominated for Balloon D' Or top 23 even with his spectacular abilities all because he is playing in Egypt. You see some players who couldn't even match his ability there all because they play in Europe. In 2012, Vicente Del Bosque was nominated for Top 10 coach in the world because he won Euro 2012 while Herve Renard won AFCON in the same 2012 and wasn't recognised and coaches that won no trophy like arsene wenger were nominated. Keshi was left out in 2013 after winning AFCON and Del Bosque was still nominated without winning anything. Coach Ndiaye won DR Congo league, the league cup, Caf Champions league, Caf super cup and reach the final of world club cup and still wasn't nominated for top 10 coach of the year. FIFA is actually set up for european football. Even corinthian coach that won the club world cup by beating chelsea wasn't nominated either.

Marcello Lippi is the only coach to have won the UCL,World Cup$Asian Champions league.
Efan Ekoku is the first player to score more than 3goals in a single Epl match(Everton 1 5 Norwich),he scored four(4)times.
