was denied the European Golden Shoe in the 1996–97 season after a new points scoring system was introduced based on UEFA coefficient league rankings. Players in higher rated leagues were awarded more points than those in lower ranked leagues meaning Bird missed out on the award to Ronaldo, who played in Spain's La Liga, despite scoring eight more goals than the Brazilian. Eifion Williams won the Golden Boot in 1997 as he helped Barry Town win the league title without losing a game. The following season, he became the first player to win the award for both a second time and in consecutive years, despite being sold to English Football League side Torquay United with two months of the campaign remaining. Eifion Williams' goals-per-game ratio remains the highest of all-time in the competition. Marc Lloyd Williams set the league record for the most goals scored in a single season during the 2001–02 campaign by scoring 47 goals in 33 appearances. His tally was the highest in Europe; he scored five more goals than European Golden Shoe winner Mário Jardel. Williams repeated the feat three years later with 34 goals during the 2004–05 season. In 2004, the award was won by Andy Moran of Rhyl, however he was stripped of his title and suspended from playing for seven and a half months after he tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone. The award was subsequently given to the second-highest scorer Graham Evans of Caersws, who became the first player to win the award three times. Rhys Griffiths won his first Golden Boot in 2006 with Port Talbot Town. He joined Llanelli a year later and went on to win the award for a further six consecutive seasons, becoming the first player to win the award more than three times and the second player, after Williams, to score 200 goals in the Welsh Premier League. Griffiths' last win, during the 2011–12 season, remains the lowest scoring total to claim the award with 19 goals. In 2013, Michael Wilde of The New Saints became the first player other than Griffiths to win the award since 2005. A year later, Chris Venables became the first player not recognised as a forward to claim the Golden Boot. The midfielder netted 24 times in 30 appearances and went on to retain the award for a further two seasons. In 2018, New Zealand international Greg Draper became
