HARRY KANE completed a unique double as this season’s top goalscorer and assist-maker – but was still some way off the Premier League’s all-time creation record.
Consistent top form and a largely injury-free season allowed the Tottenham star to produce a personal-best tally of 23 goals and 14 assists.
That meant a total of 37 goal involvements, comfortably clear of Bruno Fernandes (30), Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min (both 27).
Patrick Bamford, Jamie Vardy (both 24) and Marcus Rashford (20) also featured in the upper echelons following strong campaigns in front of goal.
But Tottenham hero Kane still has work to do if he is to best the Prem’s greatest-ever goal creators.
His tally could only put him joint-NINTH in the overall list, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo’s bounty from 2007-08.
A number of English football legends feature further up the list, including Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry.
Both men hold two positions inside the top ten with the ex-Arsenal striker bagging 39 goal involvements in 2004-05 and a whopping 44 in 2002-03.
Rather surprisingly, Henry’s 24 goals and 20 assists beats his record in the Invincibles campaign where he could muster a mere 36 involvements – 30 of which were goals.
No player can top Henry’s tally from the 38-game era with Robin van Persie, Didier Drogba (both 39) and Salah (42) not far off.
Shearer and Andy Cole sit top of the tree thanks to 47 goal involvements apiece in the early 1990s.
Shearer smashed 34 goals and 13 assists in 42 appearances en route to Blackburn’s 1994-95 title triumph, while Cole produced the same numbers a year earlier for Newcastle – from two fewer games.

When ranking the marksmen based on their average of goals and assists, Cole is only third with a ratio of 1.175 involvements per game.
Henry produced an average of 1.189 from his 37 matches in 2003, leaving Liverpool’s Luiz Suarez top on this metric.
The Reds’ 2013-14 title push came courtesy of his incredible 31 goals and 12 assists over just 33 appearances, at a ratio of 1.3 involvements per game.
