About this quiz

What you’ll be tested on

Premier League history is full of record-breaking goal hauls, one-season wonders, and repeat Golden Boot winners. This quiz focuses on recalling the top scorer for a given season, so both football knowledge and timeline awareness matter.

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through clues like club era, rival strikers, and standout campaigns before you answer.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is mixed by design: you’ll see well-known winners alongside seasons that trip people up because the winner wasn’t the biggest superstar. You can also choose the question count and difficulty before starting, making it easy to do a quick run or a full challenge.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from mixing up consecutive seasons, confusing a player’s best scoring year with the actual Golden Boot year, or forgetting shared top-scorer seasons. Another common mistake is picking the biggest name from that era instead of the exact season winner.

Watch for back-to-back seasons where different strikers won by a narrow margin
Don’t assume the league’s top scorer matches the title-winning team’s star
Remember some seasons had joint winners with the same goal total
Use era cues (kits, clubs, managers) to anchor the correct year
If you’re unsure, eliminate options by player timeline and typical peak years

How to improve your score

Try an easier setting first to lock in the most famous seasons, then move to mixed or harder to tackle the tricky mid-table and surprise winners. Replaying helps because you’ll start recognizing patterns in eras and repeat winners.
