Germany striker Miroslav Klose won the Golden Shoe award for leading scorer
at the 2006 World Cup finals. Klose hit five goals in the tournament, two clear
of eight players on three goals.
The 28-year-old, who also netted five times in the 2002 finals, scored twice
against both Costa Rica and Ecuador in group games and headed the equaliser in
the quarter-final against Argentina, which the hosts won in a penalty shootout.
His five goals are the lowest winning haul since the 1962 World Cup in Chile
when six players scored four times.
