Nah, there's two more in EG's post (Amoroso and Romario). Did Hasselbaink top-score while he was in Spain and/or Portugal?
mark viduka - twice in australian league. once in scottish league. jardel- portugal and turkey. papin- belgium, france, italy??
My list is not meant to be complete, it concentrates on players from the 20th century and only features players that scored more than 200 league goals (took it from a respective IFFHS book, the 1997-98 season is the last one they covered, hence no Romario, who topped the Brazil league scorers charts in 2000 for the first time and they had not investigated his league stats by 1997).
i am not sure whether Amoroso is the same player. The Brazilians used similiar names. I compiled the list by looking at most of the major leagues around the world. I did not bother to study them hard.
