Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has hit yet another milestone in his career, becoming the joint-highest goalscorer in football history following his late strike against Sassuolo on Sunday.

Bican played for clubs including Rapid Vienna, Slavia Prague and Dynamo Prague in the 1930s, 40s and early 50s, representing Austria and Czechosovakia at international level.
