Peter Canavan Selects His Gaelic Football Team Of The Year

Peter Canavan Selects His Gaelic Football Team Of The Year

GAA legend and Sky Sports pundit Peter Canavan has selected his All Ireland Football Championship team of the year.

Unsurprisingly Kerry lead the way with seven players, including David Clifford and his brother Paudie. Finalists Galway have four representatives, with All Ireland heroes Shane Walsh and Cillian McDaid making the cut.

Two Derry players make the team, while Tyrone and Dublin have one a piece.

One of the big debates post-match was the position of centre-halfback, with both Kerry's Tadhg Morley Galway's John Daly staking claims.

Unlike The Sunday Game's Team of the Year, Canavan opted for Daly, arguing that "the number six jersey was a toss-up between John Daly and Tadhg Morley. Both performed their defensive duties. I've given Daly the nod because of his contributions going forward as well."
