Manchester United v Fulham - Premier League — Berbatov won the Golden Boot once with Manchester United in the 2010-11 season

Dimitar Berbatov is a very well known name to all Premier League fans. He was a prolific striker during the 6 years he spent in England with Tottenham Hotspurs, Manchester United and Fulham.

He was the Golden Boot winner for the 2010-11 season, scoring 20 league goals for the Red Devils. Well, he couldn't replicate that kind of form ever again and ended up having spells with Fulham, Monaco and POAK after that.

After trying out his luck in Europe he decided it was time to look for a different challenge. Thus in 2017, he signed up with ISL club Kerela Blaster on a one-year contract. Though, he wasn't able to reproduce his goalscoring exploits in the league. But managed to score 1 goal in 9 appearances. Seems quite underwhelming to be honest.
