Rugby union turned professional in 1995, and 1996–97 marked the first professional Premiership Rugby season.^[1] However, the Player of the Season award was only first bestowed during the 1997–98 season. The first Player of the Season award was given toNewcastle Falcons playerPat Lam, who won the Premiership Rugby title and scored five tries that season.
