Who do you think has been the best Irish footballer this year?

The PFAI nominations for ‘best overseas player’ were announced today.

THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS’ Association of Ireland (PFAI) nominations were announced earlier, and among the accolades up for grabs is the Irish Overseas Player of the Year award.

Everton defender Seamus Coleman, along with Norwich City duo Robbie Brady and Wes Hoolahan have made the cut.

Both Hoolahan and Brady are part of the Irish team that secured a famous victory over Germany last month, while Seamus Coleman has consistently impressed for Everton in recent times.

Hoolahan also played an integral part in the Norwich team’s promotion to the Premier League, as they triumphed in the Championship play-offs last May.

So, with all that in mind, who do you think deserves to win the prize?


Poll Results:

Wes Hoolahan (3016)
Seamus Coleman (946)
Robbie Brady (548)
Other (505)

Did you spot this ridiculous dive in last night’s CSKA-Man United match?>

It’s been a night to forget for Tottenham in the Europa League>

    I’m going to let the PFAI take the blame on this one, Jon. If it was up to me, you’d be in the top 3.

    perhaps as it’s the PFAI awards maybe the criteria is that Irish born players are nominated.

    Johnny Walters seemed to pick up the Man of the Match Award after most of our games this year and scored crucial goals v Scotland & Georgia- How did he not make the shortlist?!
