UEFA Coefficient Rule
From 1968-1991, the Golden Shoe was awarded to anyone regardless of the toughness of the league or the number of games the player had taken part in. During this period, Eusébio, Gerd Müller, Dudu Georgescu and Fernando Gomes each won the Golden Shoe twice. That doesn’t mean these players did not deserve the Golden Shoe (Shoe).

After a number of complaints, The European Sports Media has awarded the Golden shoe to players according to points obtained. This allows players in tougher leagues to claim the award even if they scored fewer goals than players in weaker leagues.

In 1991, The European Golden Shoe rules were revived with leagues around the world divided according to UEFA Coefficients were goals scored in top leagues like in England, Spanish and Germany were given 2.0 points while goals scored in leagues like the French Ligue 1, Dutch League etc were given 1.5 points.
