Roger Milla, the oldest goalscorer in World Cup history, spoke to FIFA on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the Cameroon-Russia match.
This Tuesday, June 28, 1994, Cameroon and Russia face off for the last group match of the 1994 FIFA World Cup United States.
Among the records in the history of the World Cup, where do you rank yours?
Each record has its particularity. I don’t place one above another. You know, each of these players marked the World Cup in their own way. As a scorer, of course the records of Miroslav Klose (top scorer in the history of the World Cup) and Just Fontaine (top scorer in a single edition) speak to me a lot but I cannot classify them. Mine fits in this line obviously. For me, the only record that is above the fray is that of King Pelé and his three World Cups. There are no words to describe what he did at such a young age.
Do you think your record will ever be broken?
Nothing is impossible but it will be very difficult. With the evolution of football today, it is very hard to see a player be selected at 42 if not a goalkeeper and we know that it is rare to see a goalkeeper score. So I think my record still has a few bright days ahead of it.
