Name every Gaelic footballer to win Player of the Year

Lee Costello

There’s only five minutes on the clock to name them all.

We know Dublin are All-Ireland champions but we don’t yet know who has won the Player of the Year award for 2023, and it’s causing some spice debates.

The Sunday Game gave it to James McCarthy much to the disapproval of Tomas O Sé, who thought it should have been David Clifford.

Others, such as Joe Brolly believe that Stephen Cluxton should be the man to pick up the award, and then you have players like Shane McGuigan who despite playing some incredible stuff, isn’t really in the conversation.

Sometimes the All-Stars and Player of the Year awards can be a bit of guessing game and we have had some surprise winners over the years.

Since the accolade was first presented back in 1995, some of the finest footballers to ever lace up a pair of boots and collected the prestigious trophy.

Some players have even managed to win it twice, which is incredible in its own right, so while we await the verdict for 2023, let’s see if you can remember all of the past winners.

To make things interesting, you only have five minutes to do so, so grab a coffee, get your thinking cap on zone in!
