The EFL Championship is world-renowned for its rough and rowdy ways, which are the byproducts of a demanding 46-game schedule and the almighty struggle for promotion to the globe’s most lucrative league. It’s goals that directly fuel the fire of this singular ambition, and the Championship top scorers 2020-2021 are doing everything in their power to fire their respective sides to the promised land.
Historically speaking, the most goals in a single Championship season was set by Crystal Palace’s Glenn Murray during the 2012-2013 campaign with 30. However, Brentford’s Ivan Toney is in the midst of a historic year, and Norwich’s Teemu Pukki, who came close to equalling Murray’s record in 2018-2019 with 29 goals himself, continues to delight at Carrow Road.
Other past top scorers in the Championship include Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrović, former Jamaica international Marlon King and current Reggae Boyz striker Andre Gray, Southampton’s Rickie Lambert and New Zealand big boy Chris Wood.
Some of the magic of the division is the spectacle of seasoned, international veterans going toe-to-toe with promising young talents that hail from the United Kingdom and abroad. The likes of Pukki, Swansea’s André Ayew and Cardiff’s Kieffer Moore are known to football fans around the world, but goal scorers like Blackburn’s Adam Armstrong, Bournemouth duo Dominic Solanke and Arnaut Danjuma and Norwich’s Emi Buendía are all attackers that ultimately want to shine at the highest level.
However, with crowds typically surpassing 20,000 on average and the EFL boasting the world’s eighth-largest TV deal, there’s no reason to think of the Championship as anything but a massive stage in and of itself, and finishing as the Golden Boot winner immediately elevates you to the status of living legend.
