Lee's wonder strike against Cambridge United from inside his own half faces competition from Graham Carey (Plymouth Argyle), Marcus Maddison (Peterborough United), Adam Reach (Sheffield United) and Aiden O'Brien (Millwall).

The shortlist for the League Two Player of the Season features the League's top two goal scorers, Accrington Stanley's Billy Kee on 21 goals and Cheltenham Town's Mohamed Eisa with 20, while Wycombe Wanderers' Adebayo Akinfenwa is also nominated.

All 72 EFL managers were invited to vote for their players of the season, with votes also compiled for the Championship, League One and League Two Teams of the Season, as former Hatter Jack Marriott was named in the League One side for his stunning season with Peterborough.
