Giustefontaine was born on 18 August 1933 to a French diaspora family in Marrakesh, Morocco. Fontaine has loved football since childhood. As a child, he often played football with his friends in the streets and open spaces of Morocco, and over time he had the idea of being a good player. After graduating from secondary school, Fontaine planned to return to France and decided to give up his studies and play football wholeheartedly.

Heroes of France
The 1958 World Cup was pele's World Cup with Fontaine, in which Fontaine scored 13 goals. This is also the single-boundary goal record in the history of the World Cup, which has not been broken so far, and the 58 World Cup is also the beginning of Pele becoming the king of the ball. The king of the ball won the World Cup for the first time. In the semi-finals of that World Cup, Fontaine and Pele faced off, and although Fontaine scored a goal, France lost 2-5 to Brazil.
Great superstar
Fontaine has won Ligue 1 many times, and the world cup single-time goal record may be difficult to break. At present, only Zidane, Platini, Ribery and Henry are greater than him in the history of French football.
