LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, meet this year’s GAA football All-Stars.
Unsurprisingly,champions Donegal lead the way with eight awards while defeated finalists Mayo have half that amount.
Beaten semi-finalists Cork and Dublin have two and one respectively.
There are 10 first time winners in this year’s selection as Paul Durcan, Ger Cafferkey, Keith Higgins, Lee Keegan, Frank McGlynn, Neil Gallagher, Mark McHugh, Michael Murphy, Colm McFadden and Colm O’Neill are all included.
“After the honour of winning an All-Ireland medal I know how much store our players place on winning these awards,” said GAApresident, Liam Ó’Neill.  “I heartily congratulate those who have made the selection and I hope it inspires them to challenge for future honours both as individuals but also as team players.”
What do you think of the selection?

Don’t know why Durcan got one he had nothing to do all year, David Clarke should have got All star goal-keeper
The man standing next to Michael murphy looks pi$$ed off lol only person in the crowd not smiling
The man you refer to is Liam O’Neill, the current GAA President, who had just presented the Cup.
For your information, his sister had died just 24 hours previously, something that had just been acknowledged by an exceptionally considerate Michael Murphy upon accepting the Cup.
So, given the circumstances, I think some mixed emotions are perfectly reasonable and indeed understandable.
