Mario Kempes claims the Golden Shoe Award with Argentina in 1978.

Mario Kempes’ six goals at the 1978 World Cup were a major factor in helping hosts Argentina lift the coveted trophy for the very first time.

Although the Argentine forward failed to find the net in the opening three group games, he discovered his scoring touch in the second half of the tournament; bagging both goals in a 2-0 win over Poland, picking up a further two in the 6-0 drubbing of Peru and netting yet another brace in the 3-1 Final victory over the Netherlands.

His tally was enough to win him the Golden Shoe Award and contribute handsomely to his international record of 20 goals in 43 appearances.
