11. Frank Lampard - 300 goals
Clubs: West Ham (39), Swansea (1), Chelsea (211), Manchester City (8), New York City (12)
Country: England (29)
For a midfield player, Frank Lampard's career goal record is truly incredible. He scored 20 or more goals in five consecutive seasons at Chelsea and hit at least double figures in 10 of 13 campaigns that he spent at Stamford Bridge.

10. Francesco Totti - 313 goals
Club: Roma (304)
Country: Italy (9)
Longevity has helped put Roma legend Francesco Totti in the 300 club. The veteran Italian star has been playing first-team football since 1993 and is still going as he closes in on his 40th birthday next month.

9. Wayne Rooney - 316 goals
Clubs: Everton (17), Manchester United (246)
Country: England (53)
Already England's all-time record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney is on course to break Sir Bobby Charlton's long-standing Manchester United record of 249 in the coming weeks. The skipper just needs another three to match the tally that has stood unrivalled for 43 years

8. Didier Drogba - 347 goals
Clubs: Le Mans (15), Guingamp (24), Marseille (32), Chelsea (164), Shanghai Shenhua (8), Galatasaray (20), Montreal Impact (21)
Country: Ivory Coast (63)
Didier Drogba is an individual you might perhaps term a late bloomer in the football world. He had a relatively slow start to his career at Le Mans and Guingamp and wasn't really recognised as a top player until he joined Marseille in his mid 20s. He later became a Chelsea legend and is still going strong in Canada with Montreal Impact.

7. Luis Suarez - 353 goals
Clubs: Nacional (12), Groningen (15), Ajax (111), Liverpool (82), Barcelona (88)
Country: Uruguay (45)
Luis Suarez is still only 29 years of age and is already well past 300 career goals. The Uruguayan had his best ever individual season in 2015/16, scoring 59 times in all competitions and also scooped the European Golden Shoe for his 40 La Liga strikes.

Clubs:
Sporting Gijon (41), Real Zaragoza (39), Valencia (129), Barcelona
(48), Atletico Madrid (15), Melbourne City (2), New York City (34)
Country: Spain (59)
David Villa's most prolific spell in a prolific career came not when he was at Barcelona, but during his time with Valencia. The Spaniard, top scorer at Euro 2008, never netted fewer than 20 goals in each of he five seasons he was with the Mestalla club.

Liverpool (7), Celtic (16), West Ham (2), LA Galaxy (101), Aston Villa
(3)
Country: Republic of Ireland (67)
After a successful club career in England, Robbie Keane has proven that a move to LA Galaxy in 2011 wasn't simply a move towards retirement after scoring more than 100 times for the California club. He's also scored more for the Republic of Ireland than the next three on the country's all-time list combined.

Makachkala (36), Chelsea (12), Everton (4), Sampdoria (2), Antalyaspor
(17)
Country: Cameroon (56)
One of the greatest natural goalscorers of his generation, Samuel Eto'o played a huge part in both Barcelona and Inter Milan winning historic trebles in 2009 and 2010 respectively. He was also the spearhead of the attack when Barça won their first European crown in 14 years in 2006.

Country: Sweden (62)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has just had the best goalscoring season of his career at the age of 34 and has already made a dream start to the latest chapter with Manchester United. People doubted whether he could handle English football, but he's proving the critics wrong so far.

2. Lionel Messi - 511 goals
Club: Barcelona (456)
Country: Argentina (55)
Lionel Messi was somehow able to score 73 goals in 60 appearances across the 2011/12 campaign with Barcelona. He's the club's all-time leading scorer and holds the same record for his country as well - a tally he'll now be able to add to after recently reversing his shock early retirement decision.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo - 548 goals
Clubs: Sporting CP (5), Manchester United (118), Real Madrid (364)
Country: Portugal (61)
Cristiano Ronaldo smashed through 500 career goals in 2015 and is now well on his way to reaching 600. Chances are he'll reach that magic mark by the end of the 2016/17 campaign if his club tallies of 53, 60, 55, 51, 61 and 51 since the start of 2010/11 are anything to go by
