This is something that blew my mind, why are all leading scorers off Teams (club and National Team) all from the new era? Why is there no leading scorer who played in the 70s? (alien.top)

I dont get this, why is nearly every single leading scorer from the new era?

Why is it never like „yeah he played in the 70s and is leading scorer off xyz“

You can check that, i am not talking bs, its hard to find a leading scorer that was in his prime between 1970-90

Why?

A think the single biggest factor is that the rules are different now. There are several examples of rules changes that have come in during the last 50 years that would increase scoring. The backpass rule, 3 league points for a win (it used to be 2), stricter foul rules and substitutions all come to mind.
