I thought one way of doing this would be to, in terms of, you know, we've talked all the

0:11.6

way through this series about players who had an impact and of course one way to measure

0:15.6

that and we've tried to measure it in trophies, in number of games and in kind of less tangible

0:20.5

elements. But one way to measure that very tangibly would be to say, okay, let's look

0:24.3

at the people who've been top scorer in Spain who've won the Pichichi and which countries

0:27.6

they come from. There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight countries that

0:33.2

we have not mentioned yet in this series or not talked about who have had Pichichi winners.

0:38.6

So that would be a start. There's only one country, by the way, who's had a Zamora winner,

0:42.4

the top goalkeeper award that we haven't mentioned so far. So if you can guess who it is,

0:46.6

it's obvious in a way. Come a room. No, Slovenia, Janoblack. Oh, Slovenia, that was so obvious,

0:53.0

yeah. So Slovenia, obviously, Oblack was Zamora in 1617, 18 and 19 in La Liga. I'm

They've got Handanavitch as well. There's not in La Liga, but they're produced two very,

1:08.9

very good goalkeepers. That's our brief mention of Slovenia. Okay, so we're going to go and talk

1:15.0

about different countries and then mention some players from there. So see, kick us off then

1:20.4

with picking one Pichichi winner from a country we haven't talked about and then we can talk a

1:23.8

little bit about that country and its play. Well, shall we talk about a guy that everybody loves?

1:28.4

Well, I think everybody loves. He's a little bit nuts, but I think may well be the best striker I've

1:33.7

seen, although I've probably said this before about other players, but you sort of think about him,

1:37.3

you can't help but love him. How about Cameroon Samoletto?etto. Yes. Pichichi in 2005,

1:43.4

2006, you know, a winner of two Champions League, because of free league titles, of a Copa del Rey,

1:49.4

a guy, and this is, I mean, quite something, because obviously we think about him at Barcelona.
