Golden Boot Winner Quiz question .....

Post by Clarets4me » Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:29 pm

Willie Irvine ( 1965-66 ) is the only player to win the " Golden Boot " in the top flight, playing for Burnley ....
However, the feat has been achieved by four other players, ( one of whom won it twice ) who finished their careers with Burnley FC on their C.V. Can you name them ?

Well done " beehole " and " RMutt " ... both correct !

One of the other two holds a unique place in our storied history, and the other one achieved the feat twice !

Just got back in, and Tommy Lawton is indeed the missing link ( Everton 1937-38 & 1938-39 )

Curiously, all four of them played for Arsenal during their careers ...
