The
European Golden Shoe is an award given to the each season top scorer which
includes only league matches in every top division of European leagues. This
award started in 1967/68 season and first winner was Eusebio. It was presented
by French magazine L'Equipe. At that time all leagues worth the same. So award
could win any player from any first division of European countries. So we have
winners from countries like Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania... L'Equipe was official
allotter from 1967/68 to 1990/91. Top scorer in 1990/91 was Darko Pančev from
Crvena Zvezda. Pančev scored 34 goals. Cyprus football federation protested
because they said that player from their league scored 40 goals. But if you
search through football history pages you could see that Cyprus league top
scorers from that season have 19 goals. Suad Beširević and Panikos
Xiourouppasscored 19 goals each. Do to this affair they decided to
make this competition unofficial and Pančev received his shoe in 2006. Because
of that L'Equipe issued no awards between 1991 and 1996.
We also had
controversies several seasons before. In 1986/87 Rodion Camataru scored 44
goals but 20 of them were scored in last 6 matches what caused lot of controversies
and complains. He then got European Golden Shoe award but was later
disqualified. Trophy was later awarded to Toni Polster who scored 39 goals.
Camataru was allowed to keep his copy of the award.
From 1991
to 1996 winners were initially not awarded. In those years top scorers in
Europe were from Scotland, Wales, Armenia and Georgia.
From
1996/97 to nowadays winners are awarded by European Sports Media. Since then we
have system based on points. So players from top European leagues could win award
even if they scored less goals from some other player from weaker league. This
is based on UEFA coefficients. Goals scored in the top five leagues are
multiplied by a factor of two, six to 21 are multiplied by a factor of 1,5... Since this change there was only one winner who wasn't playing in top 5 leagues. It was Henrik Larsson (Celtic) in 2001.
