The Golden Boot award is one of the most prestigious in world football, and has been won by some of the greatest players to have ever graced a football field. The first ever recipient was Guillermo Stabile, who fired Uruguay to glory in the very first World Cup back in 1930. Other notable winners include Gerd Muller in 1970, Salvatore Schillaci at Italia 90 and Thomas Muller in 2010. Two Englishmen have even won the award in the past, with Gary Lineker's six goals at Mexico 86 proving unbeatable, despite England's quarter-final exit. Harry Kane is the current holder, having struck five times at Russia 2018, but went out with just two goals in 2022.
