FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winners Top goal scorers from each edition

Описание: The top scorer at each FIFA World Cup edition wins the Golden Boot. It was known as the Golden Shoe award from 1982 before being rechristened to its current form in 2010.

At every FIFA World Cup, winning the coveted trophy is the goal for every football player.

Football’s biggest global showpiece, however, also offers several individual awards at the end of each edition, providing players an opportunity to etch their names in the history books.

The Golden Ball, for example, is given out to the best player of each FIFA World Cup edition while the Golden Glove goes to the goalkeepers with the most clean sheets. For attacking players, the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot, given to the top scorer of each edition, is the holy grail.

Incidentally, the Golden Boot award at FIFA World Cups only started officially from 1982. It was known as the Golden Shoe award at the time. It came to be known as the Golden Boot, its current iteration, only from 2010.

However, top scorers at previous FIFA World Cup editions are also recognised as Golden Boot winners. The second highest scorer at each football World Cup wins the Silver Boot while the third-highest scorer walks away with the Bronze Boot.

Argentina’s Guillermo Stabile, hence, is the first FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner, top scoring at the 1930 FIFA World Cup in Uruguay, the inaugural edition, with eight goals.
