1990/91 Darko Pancev         Crvena zvezda (Beograd) (Yugoslavia)  34

NB: Darko Pancev got his prize only in 2006, following a protest from

    Cyprus where a player supposedly scored 40 goals (though the official

    topscorers for the season, Besirevic and Xiourouppas, are both listed

    with 19 goals).  Due to this affair, France Football decide to make 

    the competition unofficial.

From 1991/92 until 1995/96 no Golden Boot was awarded.  The European

top scorers in those seasons were:

season  player               club (country)                      goals

1991/92 Ally McCoist         Rangers FC (Glasgow) (Scotland)       34 [1]

1992/93 Ally McCoist         Rangers FC (Glasgow) (Scotland)       34 [2]

1993/94 David Taylor         Porthmadog FC (Wales)                 43

1994/95 Arsen Avetisyan      Homenmen (Yerevan) (Armenia)          39

1995/96 Zviad Endeladze      Margveti (Zestafoni) (Georgia)        40

    [1] Otar Korgalidze of Guria Lanchkhuti (Georgia) scored 40 goals, but

        is usually ignored in this (unofficial) ranking

    [2] Merab Megreladze of Samgurali Tshkaltubo (Georgia) scored 41 goals,

        but (as three other players) is usually ignored in this (unofficial)

        ranking

Since 1996/97 the ESM (European Sports Magazines), of which France

Football originally was part, award the Golden Boot again, with the 

modification that goals in leagues ranked 1st-8th according to the 

UEFA coefficient list (which determines the number of entries in the 

UEFA Cup) are multiplied by a factor 2, those in leagues ranked 

9th-21st by a factor 1.5.  After the winner, also the best scorer 

regardless of those multiplications is indicated (in italics).
