BBC Goal of the Month

Records

• During the period in which a top three was announced each month, Dennis Bergkamp was the only player to have achieved the deemed first, second, and third best goals of the month in one calendar month, August 1997. Only two goals came from his hat-trick against Leicester City—not all three as is widely cited. The third was from a previous game against Southampton.
• The record for players having more than one nomination for GOTS is three- This has happened twice, the first time in 1992-93 when Ryan Giggs, Dalian Atkinson and Dwight Yorke each won two Goal of The Month awards. The second was in 1995-96 with Tony Yeboah ; Ian Wright and Alan Shearer each having two goals in contention. There have been numerous occasions where two players have been nominated twice. but as of 2018-19, no player has yet had 3 goals selected in a Premier League season.
• Gareth Bale is the last player to have had 2 goals selected, in 2012-13 season. None of the subsequent seasons have seen any player win GOTM more than once.
• Consecutive GOTM wins has occurred only 3 times. The players to have achieved this are Yorke in 1992-93 ; Yeboah in 1995-96 and Bale in 2012-13.
• Since the advent of the Premier League in 1992-93 Jack Wilshere is the only player to have won GOTS in consecutive seasons although his latter win was controversial.
• Wayne Rooney is the player with the most GOTS wins in the Premier League era, having won the award 3 times - 2004-05; 2006-07 and 2010-11.
