| Guillermo Stabile (Argentina) made history by becoming the very first top scorer in the World Cup finals. He also made it into the record books by scoring the very first hat-trick in a World Cup finals match. That feat came in a 6-3 victory over Mexico in an enthralling first phase group game at the Estadio Centenario. Stabile's performances earned him a lucrative move to Italian giants Genoa, where he became an instant hero, striking a hat-trick on his debut against Bologna. He later moved on to Napoli, before finishing his fine career with French outfit Red Star Paris. Surprisingly, during his time in France, he was capped by the French international side and struck four past Austria in a match. |
