Garrincha (Brazil), Vava (Brazil), Leonel Sanchez (Chile), Drazan Jerkovic (Yugoslavia), Valentin Ivanov (Soviet Union) and Florian Albert (Hungary) all notched four strikes – the lowest total in World Cup history to win the coveted prize – and accounted for 24 of the 89 goals scored that tournament.
Albert’s effort was perhaps the best, bagging his tally in just three matches, while Sanchez and Jerkovic took six games to reach their total. One of Vava’s strikes came in the 3-1 victory over Czechoslovakia in the Final.
Surprisingly, the Golden Shoe has only been shared on one other occasion, in 1994 when Bulgaria’s Hristo Stoichkov and Russia’s Oleg Salenko both scored six goals.
