Why Giampiero Boniperti ranks #56 in Football
Giampiero Boniperti ranks 56th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 163rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 84, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 909 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1946–1961 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes serie a titles 5, juventus goals 178, serie a top scorer awards 1, italy caps 38.
Immediately ahead sits Kevin De Bruyne on 85.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Franco Baresi on 85.4. 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.
