Gary Lineker — 6 goals, England 1986

Gary Lineker won the 1986 Golden Boot with 6 goals in the same tournament where Maradona scored the Goal of the Century. He scored a hat-trick against Poland in the group stage and two in the quarterfinal against Paraguay. With 48 England goals, his total remains 30% higher than #7 Hristo Stoichkov's 37 for Bulgaria. Lineker also never received a single yellow card in his career — a clean record unequaled among Golden Boot winners with 6+ goals.
