The Golden Boot Award is one of the most coveted accolades in the world of football. It is awarded annually to the player who scores the most goals in a single season.

The award was first presented in the 1968-69 season as the Golden Shoe. It was created in response to the increasing number of foreign strikers signing for English clubs and winning the coveted Footballer of the Year award. The Golden Shoe quickly became a symbol of individual excellence in the world of football.

In the years since its inception, the Golden Boot Award has been won by some of the greatest players to ever grace the game. Lionel Messi of Barcelona is the player with the most Golden Boot awards, claiming the honour in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2019. Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid holds the record for the most goals in a single season, netting an impressive 50 in the 2014-15 campaign.

The award continues to be a source of huge pride for footballers around the world and the record holder’s name is written into the footballing history books. The annual competition for the prestigious Golden Boot Award is one of the most fiercely contested in the world of football and its name is synonymous with individual excellence.
