Talk:European Golden Shoe

Winners who were not playing in one of the top five leagues
In the article it says: "Goals scored in the top five leagues according to the UEFA coefficients list are multiplied by a factor of two [...]" and "Since this change, there have only been two winners who were not playing in one of the top five leagues (Henrik Larsson, 2000–01 Scottish Premier League and Mario Jardel, 1998–99 Primeira Divisão and 2001–02 Primeira Liga)." But in the 98-99 season Jardel got 72 points for his 36	goals (factor 2). There is a contradiction here or it has some information missing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.82.4 (talk) 10:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Comments from the article
Originally called the trophy was called Le Soulier D'or, by its inceptors, the French sports magazine France Football, maybe it still is! Historic references are missing. To verify the details of this paragraph more research is required! Maybe this page should actually link to a page called 'Soulier d'Or', because that may be the formal name of the thing. For the time being 'Le / Soulier d'or' redirect to here.

Yearly Rankings
I was think that we could try to make a page with the current standings for the Golden boot each year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragon inferno (talk • contribs) 23:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Countries
Is it really necessary to have the name of the country right next to the flags? I think people ought to be able to identify the flags of European countries, and if not, well, then they'll learn something new.ericxpenner (talk) 07:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)Eric P.
 * Yes it is as people with graphics off will not be able to see the flags and will see a blank column. Look at WP:ACCESS for further reading. NapHit (talk) 13:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

France Football / L'Équipe
I can't actually find any sources which confirm that the award was by France Football. I have a dead-tree source right in front of me which says it was L'Équipe, and that's backed up by them having given it to Pancev. I've changed the article to reflect this. Corrections / explanations welcome. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:12, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

When did they decrease 8 to 5 leagues?
Who know the time when ESM decreased 8 top leagues with co-variation 2 to 5 leagues (La Liga, PL, Serie A, Bundesliga et Ligue 1) ? Phổ Lạp Đế Ni (talk) 08:40, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Scotland?!
Is there any reason why Scotland's two Golden shoe awards won by Ally McCoist Have been omitted from the "by Country" table? Hamishallan (talk) 21:13, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

"L'Équipe issued no awards between 1991 and 1996" according the history section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.179.1.81 (talk) 03:26, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Austria Wien
The club Austria Wien 	is listed in the  By team section but not in the Winners section.

I found one source stating Polster as winner " 1986/1987 	 Polster (Austria Wien) 	 39 	 Camataru    Sirakov" http://www.eurotopfoot.com/soulierdorhistorique.php3

at another site Polster is second " Season 1986-87 1.Rodion Doru Gorun CAMATARU    -  Dinamo Bucuresti     44 goals 2.Anton POLSTER                  -  FK Austria Wien      39 goals 3.Nashko SIRAKOV                 -  Vitosha Sofia        36 goals" http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/gboot.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.179.1.81 (talk) 03:49, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Apparently that years title was awarded to Polster in 2007, after the Romanian football association admitted that manipulations had taken place in many of Camatarus 44 goals. see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toni_Polster#cite_note-1 (only in German)

Country of the player is not consistent
While for the Dark Pancev it says that he was from "Yugoslavia" (in fact now he is from "Macedonia") for Gerd Mueller it says from "Germany", even he was from "West Germany" when he won the award.

That is repeated in the "Winners by nationality" section. Darko Panchev was Macedonian, even in the time of 1991, and I don't see "Macedonian" nationality. Yugoslavia was a federation of 6 countries, one of them was Macedonia. I see Wales and Scotland, too.

If you want good encyclopedia, you should be consistent. Darko Panchev is alive and lives in Skopje, Macedonia, so you may contact him.

Omoijuanfo
I think the totals for Molde and Red Star shouldn't be added up. At least according to UEFA (2014 article).

A player cannot play first in a summer league (e.g. Norway) and then in a winter league (e.g. Spain) and combine the points totals for each season. Edgar (talk) 13:44, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
