    [*a] original winner Rodion Camataru was disqualified and the trophy awarded to Polster in
         1990; however, Camataru was allowed to keep his copy of the trophy.
    [*b] 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 decided
         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.  For the best scorer regardless of those
    multiplications see the file on European Topscorers by Season.

        topscorers for the season, Besirevic and Xiourouppas, are both listed
        with 19 goals).  Due to this affair, France Football decided to make 
        the competition unofficial.

    top 3 scorers in those seasons were:

    NB: in Azerbaijan, Musa KURBANOV of Turan Tauz scored 35 goals, and
        in Georgia, Merab MEGRELADZE of Margveti Zestafoni scored 31, but
        usually neither is included in this (unofficial) ranking.

    Since 1996/97 the ESM (European Sports Magazines), of which France
    Football is one, award the Golden Boot again, with the modification
    that goals in leagues ranked 1st-8th (later 1st-5th) 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 (later 6th-22nd) by a factor 1.5.
