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?

    Yep, my club Bristol City is the perfect example of this. Our top scorer John Atyeo has 351 goals. He even got 5 goals in 6 England caps despite never playing top flight. He almost certainly had offers to move but didn’t. These days he’d be out the door after one good season.

      Good shout, I think your comment also gives weight to the fact that even after the abolition of the minimum wage the pay gap between different levels wasn’t as it is today.
