WHO will follow in the footsteps of Jason Bristow (pictured) and Stephen Foster - the winners of the first-ever Gazette player of the season awards last year?

While outstanding Basingstoke Town defender Bristow has a chance to retain his crown, there will be a new name on the roll of honour for the Basingstoke Bison.

Also this year there is a chance to vote for your player of the season for the promotion-chasing Basingstoke rugby club.

The phone lines are open today and will close at midnight on Wednesday, April 24 - so get ringing now.

The number to call is 0905 035 1020. You will then be asked to enter the selection number of your top player.
