Best national team goal-scorers of XIX Century
Legendary English striker Steve Bloomer confidently leads the ranking of the best scorers of the national teams over XIX Century. To score 20 goals since 1895 to 1900, he spent only 12 matches.
Bloomer is 6 goals ahead of the next goal-scorer Tinsley Lindley who was famous by his refusal to wear ordinary football boots. Instead, he preferred to wear walking shoes because he could run faster in them.
