Well I did get there, eventually!
Ok, who is the only British player to ever win the European Golden Boot (for club goals in a season)?

Its a nice quick one

Henrik Larsson,

they had a big debate over the formula they use to calculate it! It's not as simple as how many goals ya do score. They take into account the league ya play in and stuff like that.

Think Ally MaCoist won it by the same formula aswell in the early 90s.

Ian Rush ?

Shaque attack

it would have to be rushy wouldn't it seeing as how larsson isn't exactly british...

Mossin

Im going to throw Brian McClair's name into the ring.

Heh, I didn't believe in award ceremonies .... until now.

woodyg

Is it British Born or British Based player?

Guy:Incognito

Is it Michael Owen?

Rikand

Gary Linekar ?

Rikand

oh wait, did kevin phillips pick it up ?

Mossin

Gary Linekar ?

Is it Michael Owen?

I dont believe either player has won it.

Although I have a sneaking suspicion that Kevin Phillips won it a few years back, around the time he was called up to the England team.

So with Rush, McCoist, Owen, Lineker, Phillips, and McClair's names in the running, are we going to find out who it is?

Pigman II

Philips did win it afaik. He was on MOTD2 a while back and they said as much.

Mossin

Phillips has won it as so has Rush.
So is the question flawed??
Or are we interpreting it wrongly?

Rikand

well again, i dont have a question, so if someone wants to take my turn with it, then fire ahead

Ian rush was welsh, wasnt he ?or am i thinking of someone else.

if its british player, then philips would be the only one

Mossin

Yeah Rush was Welsh, but is Wales not part of Britain??

If it is an English player then it's Phillips.

Lemlin

Andy Cole at Newcastle?

Mossin

Lets try another question.

Who was the last Irish player to score in a Senior Competitive Match and against who?

An easy enough one, but we need to keep this thread going. Gone quiet of late.
