Somebody posted a comment to the Age of MLS Golden Boot Winners post which inspired this post.
- Man, 2001 was really pathetic wasn't it? Moreso if you look at the full leaderboard. Wynalda was the only American in the top ten.
- Jeff Cunningham was counted from 2002 on, as he received his citizenship after the 2001 season.
- In 14 seasons, only 57 different players have made one of these top tens.
How many of those guys have never played for the USMNT? A total of ten: Burciaga, Carrieri, Elliott, Magee, Marino, Paule, Rammel, Rhine, Rooney, Wood.
