Liked the list for #10, this is for players playing in the position #9.

1) Eusebio
2) Gerd Muller
3) Van Bastem
4) Ronaldo
5) Romario
6) Batigoal
7) Lineker
8) Hugo Sánchez
9) Riva

How about Henry and Kubalal? Can they be considered a true #9????

Hughie Gallacher was a highly successful centre-forward with Airdrieonians in the Scottish League. During a four year period he scored 91 goals in 111 games. In 1925 Newcastle United paid Airdrieonians £6,500 for Gallacher. He made an immediate impact and during his first season scored 23 goals in 19 games. The following season Newcastle won the First Division league title. Gallacher, who had been made captain of the side, scored 39 goals in 41 games. After scoring 133 goals in 160 league appearances, Gallacher was sold to Chelsea for £10,000.

However, Dixie Dean had a better overall performance than Gallacher.

In March 1925 Dixie Dean was transferred from Tranmere Rovers to Everton for a fee of £3,000. Dean was one of the best signings of all times. Dean was in sensational form in the 1927-28 season. He scored seven hat-tricks that season and ended up with a record-breaking 60 league goals. Dean helped Everton win three league championships and a FA Cup final victory. During his time at Everton he scored 349 goals in 399 games.

to be honest no-one post the world war even comes close to gerd muller

he leads every single competition or league he ever played in, in terms of goals scored, and always at about 1 goal per game which is much higher than anyone else.

the only one he doesn't lead is the world cup but he has 14 goals from 14 games while ronaldo has 1 more from 5 more games.

he always scored goals in finals and semifinals of world cups and euros.

has 1300 odd goals in 1100 odd senior games for bayern and germany (including friendlies), and senior competitive games for fort lauderdale.
