We want you to help us decide which was our best goal of 2013!
The Football League have launched the search to find the Mitre Goal of the Year for 2013 and we are asking for your help in deciding which of our goals from the last 12 months should be put forward as our nomination.
We can nominate one goal from any Football League competition in the 2013 calendar year, to include goals scored in the Sky Bet Football League, the Capital One Cup and the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.
We want you to help us decide our club nomination by tweeting us, Facebooking us or emailing us with your choice from these goals, which have already been voted as Goal of the Month by you, with the exception of the December goals which have yet to be decided.
