While his Dublin team-mates listen to hip hop, Jack McCaffrey is banging out the Disney tunes

We're trying not to dwell on this, but it is hard to let it go.

Jack McCaffrey has already set himself apart as an independent thinker with his decision to take a summer out from Gaelic football. This is not a player with a mid-ranking county bailing to the States ahead of the qualifiers after a provincial championship defeat, this is the reigning Footballer of the Year passing up the opportunity to win a third All-Ireland in four years to volunteer at a hospital in Zambia. The 22-year-old medical student confirmed to the Sunday Independent at the weekend that he will not return to Jim Gavin's All-Ireland champions this summer, but in an excellent, wide-ranging interview his passion for Gaelic football shone through. He will almost certainly be back in 2017. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/706184785325117440 The Clontarf clubman spoke with great affection for all his intercounty team-mates, who seem to be very fond of McCaffrey also - despite his very, very questionable taste in music.

"I remember I was on a physio table at some stage in 2015 and I was listening to a bit of music and just lifted up my iPod and I had a shuffled playlist and Kevin McManamon was behind me and he says (in a tone of bewilderment): 'what are you listening to?' "And I looked down and it was the Disney Frozen soundtrack, while the rest were listing to hardcore rap."

Frozen Heart? Do you Want to Build a Snowman? For the First Time in Forever? With pre-match tunes like these is it any wonder McCaffrey, literally, ran away with Footballer of the Year last season.
