<P> The Golden Boot or Golden Shoe Award goes to the top goalscorer of the FIFA World Cup . While every World Cup had a ranking of the goalscorers, the first time an award was given was in 1982, under the name Golden Shoe . It was rechristened Golden Boot in 2010 . FIFA sometimes lists the top goalscorers of previous Cups among the Golden Boot winners . </P> <P> If there is more than one player with the same number of goals, since 1994 the tie - breaker goes to the player without a penalty goal, if none has a penalty then the tie breaker goes to the person with more assists - with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such . If there is still more than one player, the tie - breaker since 2006 goes to the player who has played the least amount of time, which translates to a higher goal average . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Top Goalscorer </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> World Cup </Th> <Th> Top goalscorer </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> <Th> Runners - up </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> <Th> Third place </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1930 Uruguay </Td> <Td> Guillermo Stábile </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> Pedro Cea </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> Bert Patenaude </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1934 Italy </Td> <Td> Oldřich Nejedlý </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> Edmund Conen Angelo Schiavio </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1938 France </Td> <Td> Leônidas </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> György Sárosi Gyula Zsengellér Silvio Piola </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1950 Brazil </Td> <Td> Ademir </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> Óscar Míguez </Td> <Td> Alcides Ghiggia Chico Estanislau Basora Telmo Zarra </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1954 Switzerland </Td> <Td> Sándor Kocsis </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> Josef Hügi Max Morlock Erich Probst </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1958 Sweden </Td> <Td> Just Fontaine </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> Pelé Helmut Rahn </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1962 Chile </Td> <Td> Flórián Albert Valentin Ivanov Garrincha Vavá Dražan Jerković Leonel Sánchez </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1966 England </Td> <Td> Eusébio </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> <Td> Helmut Haller </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> Valeriy Porkujan Geoff Hurst Ferenc Bene Franz Beckenbauer </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1970 Mexico </Td> <Td> Gerd Müller </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> Jairzinho </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> Teófilo Cubillas </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1974 West Germany </Td> <Td> Grzegorz Lato </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> Andrzej Szarmach Johan Neeskens </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1978 Argentina </Td> <Td> Mario Kempes </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> Teófilo Cubillas </Td> <Td> Rob Rensenbrink </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Golden Shoe </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> World Cup </Th> <Th> Golden Shoe </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> <Th> Silver Shoe </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> <Th> Bronze Shoe </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1982 Spain </Td> <Td> Paolo Rossi </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> Karl - Heinz Rummenigge </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> Zico </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1986 Mexico </Td> <Td> Gary Lineker </Td> <Td> Emilio Butragueño Careca Diego Maradona </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> None </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1990 Italy </Td> <Td> Salvatore Schillaci </Td> <Td> Tomáš Skuhravý </Td> <Td> Roger Milla Gary Lineker </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1994 United States </Td> <Td> Oleg Salenko Hristo Stoichkov </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> Kennet Andersson Romário </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1998 France </Td> <Td> Davor Šuker </Td> <Td> Gabriel Batistuta Christian Vieri </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> None </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2002 South Korea / Japan </Td> <Td> Ronaldo </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> Miroslav Klose Rivaldo </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 Germany </Td> <Td> Miroslav Klose </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> Hernán Crespo </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Ronaldo </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Golden Boot </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> World Cup </Th> <Th> Golden Boot </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> <Th> Silver Boot </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> <Th> Bronze Boot </Th> <Th> Goals </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2010 South Africa </Td> <Td> Thomas Müller </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> David Villa </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> Wesley Sneijder </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 Brazil </Td> <Td> James Rodríguez </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> Thomas Müller </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> Neymar </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2018 Russia </Td> <Td> Harry Kane </Td> <Td> Antoine Griezmann </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Romelu Lukaku </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="7"> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="7"> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ FIFA initially credited Nejedlý with only four goals, which would make him joint top scorer with Angelo Schiavio of Italy and Edmund Conen of Germany .
