Seven goalscorers have had the joy of winning the ranking at the end of their first season in the French championship, not counting the duo of Walter Kaiser (SRFC) and Robert Mercier (Club Français), who won the title in the first edition in 1932-33. The next two seasons saw newcomers Istvan Lukacs (Sète, 33-34) and André Abbeglen (FCSM, 34-35) claim the top scoring title.

Rene Bihel (LOSC, 45-46) and Rogier Piantoni (FC Nancy, 50-51) are the only Frenchmen to have done the same, before Argentina's Carlos Bianchi claimed the first of his five trophies in 1973-74. Still a foreigner, Germany's Erwin Kostedde (Stade Lavallois) shared the distinction with Delio Onnis in 1979-80. Finally, the last top scorer in his first season in Ligue 1 is Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 2012-13 season.

A trio of five

In the history of Ligue 1, three players have managed the feat of winning the top scorer title five times. The first to do so was Carlos Bianchi. The goleador collected five trophies in six seasons (between 1973-74 and 1978-79), beating out fellow Argentine Delio Onnis, who needed ten seasons to achieve the same number of titles (1974-75 to 1983-84).

Finally, Jean-Pierre Papin is the only goalscorer to have five consecutive titles: with OM, the France striker won the top scorer's trophy every season between 1988 and 1992.

OM tops the charts

With 12 top scorer titles in the French league - from Gunnar Andersson in 1952 to Mamadou Niang in 2010 - Olympique de Marseille are at the top of the club rankings. The Marseille club are ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, who have had the league's deadliest marksman on ten occasions since Carlos Bianchi topped the standings back in 1977-78, but capital club players have won five of the last six top scorer titles in Ligue 1 Conforama.
