Before qualifying for World Cup 2022, the only tournament appearance of Wales was in 1958, in which they gave the eventual champion Brazil a run for their money in the quarter-final. But before that, they had to beat another tough opponent in a playoff after both teams had the same points in the group stage. That opponent was much weakened compared to the heydays of the mid 1950s, partly due to an aging squad, and partly due to a political revolution. Some of the biggest stars left the country during the upheaval, including the top goalscorer of the World Cup 1954, who scored 11 goals in his only World Cup tournament. Somehow, the 11 goals in a single tournament record was quickly broken in 1958 by another player, who also only played in one single tournament. Name any one of these two World Cup top goalscorers.
Sándor Kocsis and Just Fontaine
