Premier League Golden Boot
Encyclopedia
The Premier League Golden Boot, known for sponsorship reasons as the Barclays Golden Boot, is an annual English
association football award given to the top goalscorer at the end of the Premier League season, the top domestic league competition in club football in England
, since its creation in 1992. Golden Boot awards are also awarded to the first players to reach 10, 20 and 30 goals in a season.
The Top-scoring Premier League Golden Boot winner is Andrew Cole with 34 goals in a 42 game season, while Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo
jointly hold the record since the league changed to a 38 game season, with 31 goals. Thierry Henry
has won the award most times in four seasons with Arsenal
, while Shearer has won it three times with Blackburn Rovers
and Newcastle United
.
Dimitar Berbatov
of Manchester United
and Carlos Tévez
of Manchester City
are the latest winners of the Golden Boot, their first. During the 2010–11 season
, they each scored 20 goals; Berbatov did so in 32 appearances, and Tévez in 31 appearances. Combining the statistics for all winners up to 2011, a Premier League Golden Boot winner scores an average of 24 goals from 35 games, a strike rate of around 0.69 goals per appearance.
Only five players have won the Golden Boot more than once, Thierry Henry
(4), Alan Shearer
(3), Didier Drogba
(2), Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
(2) and Michael Owen
(2). Of those players, only two have won it with two different clubs, Alan Shearer with Blackburn Rovers
and Newcastle United
, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with Leeds United
and Chelsea
.
Winning the Golden Boot is not necessarily associated with league success; over 19 seasons to date, a winner has only been part of the league-winning side eight times.
Players from seven nations other than England have won the Golden Boot, with France and the Netherlands being the only countries with more than one player winning the trophy, at two each. Reflecting the increasing presence of foreign players in the Premier League, while no foreign-born player had won the award before 1997–98, no Englishman has won the award since Kevin Phillips
in 1999–2000. Dutchman Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
was the first foreign player to win the award outright in 2000–01, after he had first shared it with Dwight Yorke
of Trinidad and Tobago in 1998–99.
Only Alan Shearer
has played every league game during a Golden Boot-winning season, when he scored 34 goals in 42 games in Blackburn Rovers
's title winning 1994–95 season. The fewest games played in a season while still winning a Golden Boot, is 30 games, when Michael Owen
scored 18 goals during Liverpool
's 1998–99 season.
The highest number of goals scored to win the Golden Boot is 34, a record jointly held by both Andrew Cole (from 40 games) and Alan Shearer
(from 42 games). The highest total for a 38 game season is 31 goals, jointly held by Cristiano Ronaldo
(from 34 games) and Shearer again (from 35 games). Cristiano Ronaldo has also registered the highest strike rate recording in winning the Golden Boot, scoring those 31 goals over 34 games, during Manchester United
's championship winning 2007–08 season.
Every winner of the Golden Boot has so far recorded an average strike rate of at least one goal every two games, and scored a minimum of 18 goals.
