From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Goal of the Season is an annual competition and award given on BBC's Match of the Day, in honour of the most spectacular goal scored that season. It is typically contested between the winners of the preceding ten Goals of the Month, although on at least one occasion the winning goal has not been one of these (usually this is due to the goal being scored in the FA Cup Final, which takes place after the final Goal Of The Month of the season).
Due to a transfer of broadcast rights, the entries for the 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons were decided on ITV's The Premiership.
