all-time leader
Career statistics king
The all-time leader in a statistical category holds the highest cumulative total in that category's recorded history: Gretzky is the NHL's all-time leader in goals.
The phrase appears almost exclusively in sports contexts, where career records are tracked meticulously.
An all-time leading scorer has scored more points than anyone else ever has.
