    The Golden Shoe award has been won by some of the biggest names in football throughout its 59-year history.

    Portugal legend Eusebio won the inaugural trophy back in 1968, scoring 42 goals for Benfica. He then claimed the award for a second time in 1972-73.

    Argentina legend Lionel Messi has secured the most Golden Shoes, collecting the award on six occasions during his 17-year long spell at Barcelona.

    Messi set the record for most goals scored in a single season with 50 in 2011-12 (100 points), as well as becoming the first and only player to date to win it in three consecutive seasons from 2016-2019.

    Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo first won the award in the 2007-2008 season at Manchester United before going on to win it three more times with Real Madrid.

    The first player to win the award while playing for an English club was Ian Rush in 1983-84, when he scored 32 goals for Liverpool.

    The award has been won by a different player in each of the last three seasons.

    Haaland scooped the prize for the first time in 2022-23, scoring a Premier League record 36 goals (72 points), with Kane earning his first Golden Shoe with the same total for Bayern the following year.

    Mbappe is the current holder of the award after scoring 31 goals (62 points) for Real Madrid in 2024-25.

    And same trio are vying at the top of the standings once more this season, with Kane just leading the way as it stands.
