Just Fontaine: Former France striker and World Cup record holder dies aged 89
Just Fontaine, who holds the record for the most goals scored at a single World Cup, has died at the age of 89.
Fontaine scored 13 goals in just six matches for France at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden as they finished third.
He is joint-fourth on the all-time World Cup goalscorers list alongside Argentina's Lionel Messi.
"A star of French football, an outstanding striker, a legendary Reims player," said his former club Stade de Reims.
Another of his former clubs, Paris St-Germain, said: "A thought for Just Fontaine. An icon of French football who has left us."
The French Football Federation (FFF) described Fontaine as "the eternal goalscorer" and "a legend of world football".
"The death of Just Fontaine plunges French football into deep emotion and immense sadness," said FFF interim president Philippe Diallo.

RIP Steve Mackey, Bass player for Pulp. Seen them a few times, always great. They are on a revival tour this summer, doing the festival circuit.... going to be a difficult one. Just heard John McClure of Reverand and the Makers on 6Music talking about him....great story, The Leadenhall in Sheffield used to host loads of gigs, and it was right next to the bus station and so let bus drivers in for free at the end of their shifts. Steve Mackey and Jarvis Cocker went out and procured themselves bus driver uniforms and got in for free every night for months 
Rock'n'roll baby!

That’s a bastard, very young. It was he and Jarvis who encouraged one of my personal favourites, Richard Hawley, to get in the studio and record some of his own stuff 25 years ago.
Somebody call 999, Richard Hawleys' been robbed...

The Sheffield music mafia look out for each other. My wife is at a show at the National Theatre tonight called Standing at the Sky’s Edge, all about Sheffield, with her mates from Uni - they went to Sheff, many years ago. I declined the chance to go, then too late found out that it’s a very highly rated musical - with songs (recycled and new) by Richard Hawley…..
RIP Steve, extremely talented in many fields. Way too young !
Apparently he had already said he wasn’t going to tour this summer, and he had been in hospital for three months……grim.RIP Steve Mackey, Bass player for Pulp. Seen them a few times, always great.
