All are listed below in our unique record of Everton's Leading Goalscorers for each season.  Links are provided to the respective tables on ToffeeWeb listing all the Everton goalscorers in recent seasons.

** William (Dixie) Dean holds the all time record of scoring 60 league goals in a season
*** Jimmy Settle of Everton holds the record of the "least" number of goals scored by the season's leading goalscorer in the top division. He achieved a mere 18 to lead the pack in 1902.
 
Although not considered official for the record books, the war years are included in this table mainly as a tribute to the great Tommy Lawton, and as a reminder that Everton's greatness as Champions has been twice thwarted by World War (1915, 1939).
