Iconic forwards at Manchester United and Liverpool have claimed a prestigious prize down the years, but who else has topped the goalscoring charts?
Getty1992-93 | Teddy Sheringham (22 goals)
During the inaugural Premier League season, Teddy Sheringham scored the first goal ever to be shown on Sky Sports for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool.
Sheringham then joined Tottenham a week later before going on to win the Premier League’s first Golden Boot by scoring 22 goals.

Andy Cole’s debut season in the Premier League with Newcastle left him with a record tally of 34 goals in 40 games.
That record still stands today, although that did come in a 42-game season and, now it is a 38-match Premier League campaign, it is a total which could stand for a long time.

The all-time Premier League top scorer secured his first Golden Boot award in the 1994/95 season when he also won his only Premier League winner's medal with Blackburn.
Shearer matched Cole's tally of 34 goals from the previous season, although he did make two more appearances than his former England team-mate.

The first back-to-back Golden Boot winner, Shearer served up another 31 goals in 1995-96 to the benchmark for a 38-game season.
That tally was matched twice before being broken by Mohamed Salah in the 2017-18 season as the Egyptian scored 32 goals for Liverpool.
