most free kick goals?

hey guys, don't know if there's a thread for this topic yet or not
(btw is there any search thread option here?)
just watched some youtube freekick vids
many claimed r. carlos' was one of the best free kick taker
unusual as it sounds, i personally do not completely agree with that
apart from the one against france couldn't really remember that many of free kick goals from him (yes, that one was an epic goal)
there are other names which is for me way more deserving to be called freekick specialist before him
is there a site to know which player has scored the most freekick in their career, in the world, european comp., serie a etc. (esp. from the early 90s when i started watching football up to present)
... found the search button but the threads were more or less opinion on who's the best taker with polls
i want to see numbers and by free kick i mean direct freekick and not set plays where the ball was tipped first
can someone provide me with these numbers or where to find them
any help appreciated thanks

oops only read the first part of your post yeah thats where the search option is lol

Juninho had a quite unbelievable success rate at Lyon one season, I can't remember it anymore but it was probably around 2005/6 and he seemed to score every single one within a reasonable range.

Best free-kicker ever: Rogério Ceni. São Paulo's GK.



He is São Paulo's top scorer on Libertadores. (He was about to lose it this year but I don't remember if he did). He was also São Paulo's top scorer in São Paulo's last Libertadores title.

Pierre van Hooijdonk. Put your hands up for Pierre, put ur hands up for Pierre!

Juninho, Van Hooijdonk, Mihaijlovic, Zico, ADP, Roberto Carlos. Found this interesting article online, has videos too. Top 10 free kick takers.

I suspect C.Ronaldo is right up with one of the best when it comes to a current modern day footballer playing in a top tier league.

I know Mihajlovic scored a lot of free kick goals in his career. I think he is amont the top 3 players in Seria A that have scored goals from free kicks.. I might be wrong though but I knew he was up there when he was a player

thanks for the names guys, but can someone please give me stats, numbers...
like off the top of my head, i remeber mihajlovic, chilavert, juninho, beckham etc. scoring many of them, but for example r. carlos (being considered 'best' freekick taker) didn't score thaaat many, heck even c. ronaldo
i'm talking about 15+ career-direct-freekick-goals (league and int'l)
it's not really about who's the best takers in your opinion but who scored most

Oh i'm sure there ALOT of players with 15+ in their career.

Juninho has scored in the 30's im sure ... I dont think you are gonna find accurate stats though.

Edit : Its not a trustworthy source but i believe his figure was 43 free kick goals for Lyon

Arthur Zico scored 211 freekick goals during his career. In two seasons in Calcio he has scored about 15 goals as I recall well. The best in Calcio history is Sinisa Mihajlovic - scored more than 30 freekick goals.

EDIT: Wikipedia says that Sinisa has scored 27 fk goals only in Serie A.
