† Appearances (goals)

Franz Binder (1 December 1911 – 24 April 1989) was an Austrian football player and coach.

Club career

Nicknamed Bimbo, Binder was a prolific goalscorer who played for SK Rapid Wien. He won the national Austrian championship four times and was three times top goalscorer in Austrian league. In 1941 he also won the German championship with a 4–3 victory against Schalke 04, when he scored three goals. In his whole career he would score 1006 goals in 756 matches. With an average-score of 1.33 goals per match, it would be a world record, so Binder would have been one of few players, scoring more than 1000 goals in his career beside Gerd Müller, Arthur Friedenreich, Josef Bican, Romário and Pelé.

International career

Internationally he represented the Austria national football team (19 caps, 16 goals), and the Germany national football team (9 caps, 10 goals) during the Anschluss.[1]

Managerial career

After retirement from playing he became a football coach, of teams such as SSV Jahn Regensburg, PSV Eindhoven, 1. FC Nürnberg, TSV 1860 München and Rapid Wien.
