Spanish statisticians keeping Richie Towell in the frame for Golden Shoe

The outstanding goalscoring feats of Dundalk star Richie Towell have seen the Irish man featured in Spanish newspaper Marca yesterday.

Midfielder Towell scored 25 times as Dundalk won the 2015 SSE Airtricity League Premier Division title, and also scored the winner in the FAI Cup final earlier this month.

The 24-year-old was therefore included in a Marca report showing the current ranking in the 2015/16 Golden Shoe award for the top scorer across all Europe’s top divisions.
