Klaus Fischer won it three times; his 1977 "Bicycle kick" was also pronounced Goal of the Century.
He scored it on 16 November 1977 in the international game of Germany versus Switzerland in the Neckarstadion, Stuttgart.
Each month, the GotM is held, and five especially spectacular, unusual or important goals are shortlisted for the viewers to vote on.
The winner gets a golden plaque which is one of the most-sought individual awards in German football.
The 12 winners are then eligible for the big annual event, the GotY Award.
