Why Ricardo Zamora ranks #71 in Football

Ricardo Zamora ranks 71st among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 284th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 82, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 875 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1916–1936 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1925, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes la liga titles 2, copa del rey titles 6, spain caps 46, olympic medals 1.

Immediately ahead sits Edinson Cavani on 83.8, a gap of -1.0 points. Directly behind is Jennifer Hermoso on 84.1. 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.
