Top scorers
According to Wikipedia: goals counted from the scorers listed in the clubs' 1996/97 season articles, in league matches whose score in the article equals this archive's and whose scorers add up to it. That holds for 373 of 380 matches, so these totals can be short. Own goals are not counted. The archive holds no team sheets for 1996/97.
