| * | Everton players have headed the list of leading scorers in the top Division on a record 12 occasions |
| ** | 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). | |
