European Golden Shoe Winners

Can you name every player to win the European Golden Shoe for most league goals in a European top-flight?
Since the 1996–97 season, European Sports Media have awarded the Golden Shoe based on a points system that allows players in stronger leagues to win even if they score fewer goals than a player in a weaker league.
