Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Cláudio Christóvam de Pinho, better known as Cláudio, was a former Brazilian footballer and the biggest scorer of all time for Corinthians. He has scored 306 goals in 554 games for the team, where he was nicknamed "Manager". He was also known for being a skillful player, who placed the ball anywhere he wanted, and is usually ranked as the 3rd best ever Corinthians player, after Rivellino and Sócrates. — Wikipedia
