Every four years, the world's greatest strikers chase glory on football's grandest stage, and while only one nation can lift the trophy, individual brilliance finds its own form of immortality in the Golden Boot. BBC News has assembled an interactive quiz inviting fans to measure their knowledge against the full historical roll call of World Cup top scorers — a test that asks not merely who won, but who was most lethal along the way. It is a small ritual of remembrance, a way of honoring the strikers whose names the record books hold even when the silverware passed them by.
