Beaten finalists Mayo have eight nominees with 11 counties represented in all.

Munster champions Kerry have seven nominations, including brothers David and Paudie Clifford.

After their historic run of six All-Ireland titles in a row ended last summer, Leinster champions Dublin have five nominations.

There are three contenders from Monaghan and Orchard County brothers Oisín and Rían O’Neill represent Armagh.

Cork’s Seán Meehan, Kildare’s Daniel Flynn, Donegal’s Michael Langan, Eoin Cleary from Clare and Galway’s Shane Walsh complete the list of 45 nominations.

Tyrone’s Conor Meyler and Kieran McGeary and Mayo’s Lee Keegan have been shortlisted for Footballer of the Year.
