DO YOU KNOW THE ALL-TIME GOALSCORING RECORD HOLDER FOR OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS?

Fleury Di Nallo
Olympique Lyonnais all-time leading scorer is Fleury Di Nallo, who scored 182 goals while at the club from 1960 to 1974. He is also third behind Moroccan born French midfielder, Serge Chiesa and goalkeeper Gregory Coupet in all time appearances having played in 489 matches during his 14-year stint at the club. 

Despite Di Nallo's impressive goalscoring record, he doesn't hold the record for most goals scored during a French Division 1 league season (now Frernch Ligue 1). That distinction goes to Bourg-en-Bresse-born André Guy who notched 25 goals, which he attained in the 1968–1969 season.
