Who is Uruguay's leading all-time top goal scorer? Suarez, Cavani, Forlan and La Celeste's most lethal strikers

La Celeste's goalscoring chart features an illustrious roll-call of some of the best players have represented the national team

Uruguay might not quite have the same reputation as their illustrious neighbours Argentina and Brazil, but the two-time World Cup winners have still produced a wealth of talent.

Luis Suarez doesn't need any introduction and neither does Edinson Cavani or Diego Forlan.

But there have been many more attacking greats representing La Celeste.

Just think Pablo Dorado or Hector Castro, the heroes of the 1930 World Cup final against Argentina.

Or Hector Scarone, who led Uruguay to two World Cup wins.

Who is Uruguay's most lethal attacker ever, though?

Let's take a look at the men leading their all-time goalscoring charts!

Luis Suarez is not just one of the greatest footballers Uruguay has produced, but he is also their highest-ever goalscorer on the international stage.

Suarez made his international debut against Colombia back in 2007 in a game that was oddly memorable as he was shown a red card by the referee in the 85th minute.

He won the Copa America with Uruguay in 2011 and has scored 68 goals.

Edinson Cavani has proved himself as one of the most lethal strikers around on the international stage.

He made his Uruguay debut in 2008 as he scored in a 2-2 draw against Colombia, and has never looked back since, scoring 58 goals in 133 games for his country.

El Matador featured in the 2011 Copa America final in Argentina as a substitute and was involved in Uruguay's last goal as they beat Paraguay 3-0 to win their record 15th title.

Diego Forlan scored on his debut for Uruguay in a friendly defeat against Saudi Arabia in 2002 to get his international career off to a flyer and it soon became apparent they had another attacking gem on their hands.

Forlan went on to score a total of 36 goals in 108 international games across all competitions for his country, with his most memorable goal being a right-footed long range effort against hosts South Africa at the World Cup in 2010.

Archivo4Hector Scarone | 31 goals

An inside forward with immense goal-scoring appetite, Hector Scarone was considered one of the best players in the world in his prime.

Scarone, who featured for Barcelona in Europe, won the South American Championship four times, in 1917, 1923, 1924 and 1926.

He led Uruguay to glory in the 1930 World Cup before retiring from the game.

El Mago scored 31 goals in 52 international games for his country.
