List Of World Cup Winners Since 1930 Rating: 9,9/10 8260 reviews

Every four years, the World Cup brings in an audience of billions of because of the all-encompassing nature of the world's most popular sport.

While the event's main prize is surely the cup itself, the tournament does award those who have enthralled the worldwide audience with great performances throughout the tournament.

Below are winners of the Golden Shoe, Golden Boot, Best Young Player, Fair Play Trophy, Golden Ball, Yashin Award for the Best Goalkeeper, Golden Glove and most Entertaining Team from each World Cup.

Golden Boot/Golden Shoe winners

Out of all the awards in the World Cup, the Golden Boot is perhaps the most objective one because it is based on statistics and not votes. It's simply awarded to the tournament's top goal scorer.

The Golden Boot wasn't formally awarded until 1982, back when it was called the Golden Shoe. Prior to that, there was no award to recognize the World Cup's top goal scorer, but we'll list them anyway. The award was rebranded as the Golden Boot in 2010 and since then, the Silver Boot and Bronze Boot have been awarded to the second and third top goa lscorers.

If there is a tie at the top for the Golden Boot, the tiebreaker goes to the player with the most assists, as we saw in 2010 when Germany's Thomas Muller, Spain's David Villa, and the Netherlands' Wesley Sneijder each had five goals. Muller had three assists, while Villa and Sneijder each had one. Thus, the Golden Ball went to Muller.

Golden Ball winners

The Golden Ball is awarded to the most outstanding player of the tournament, regardless of where his team finished in the final standings.

The award is voted on by media members, who are given a list of names to choose from by the FIFA technical committee. The Silver Ball and Bronze Ball is awarded to the second and third leading vote-getters.
