Former England international Gary Lineker came second in the rankings with 62 points.
At the time, Lineker was arguably in his prime. After winning the Golden Boot with England at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, he was snapped up bydebut against Racing Santander before going on to score 21 goals in 41 games during his first season in Spain.

Belanov lifted the award at the annual gala ceremony on December 30th, 1986 after an impressiveHe notched four goals and six assists for the Soviet Union as they reached the round of 16 – a game in which he scored a hat-trick against Belgium.
