The 2015-16 campaign was an exhilarating season of emergence for AZ Alkmaar, as the Cheeseheads finished a strong 4th in the Eredivisie, securing a coveted spot in the Europa League. Leading the charge was the sensational young striker Vincent Janssen, whose phenomenal 27 goals in his debut season earned him the Eredivisie top scorer title and the prestigious Johan Cruyff Award for Young Talent of the Year. The defining moment of the campaign was Janssen's incredible run of form, scoring 20 goals in the second half of the season, a feat not achieved in 52 years, making him the youngest player to score more than 25 league goals in a single campaign since Ronaldo. It was a breakout year built on raw attacking power that saw Janssen immediately move to Tottenham Hotspur and remains a cherished chapter in the club's recent history.
