Football Geniuses: Top 5 Of The Best Goal Scoring Defenders (PHOTOS)

Ever wondered who are the best goal scoring defenders ever in the football pitch? Well, here is the list:

1. Ronald Koeman

A prolific scorer in his native Netherlands as well as for Barcelona.

In 1987/88 he scored 21 goals in 32 league games he played for PSV.

Koeman finished his career with 253 goals from 763 games he played.

2. Daniel Passarella

The legendary Argentine defender who frequently joined attacks and possessed a surprisingly cultured pair of feet, which he used to plough opponents out of the way.

He scored 90 goals in 226 league games for River Plate and represented an astonishing return for a sweeper.

3. Fernando Hierro

Fernando played as a defensive midfielder but even when he was at the heart of the defence he contributed through penalties, free-kicks, and amazing strike.

He scored over 100 La Liga goals for Real Madrid.

4. John Terry

The world-class defender may be stretching it but we reckon John Terry would have made a half-decent target man.

After playing for Chelsea more than 10 seasons he managed to score 41.

5. Roberto Carlos

With thighs like tree trunks and a shot that could topple the Great Wall , Real Madrid player would have scored plenty as a No9.

He didn’t do too badly from left-back, scoring over 100 career goals including some physical defying long-range efforts.
