Why Delio Onnis ranks #49 in Football
Delio Onnis ranks 49th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 76th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 96. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1971–1986 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, which sets the Peak component at 92. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes ligue 1 goals 299, ligue 1 top scorer awards 5, career goals 320, french cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Stanley Matthews on 88.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Camille Abily on 88.8. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
