Raheny’s Fenton was Footballer of the Year two years ago and it is the third time that he and Kilkenny have been nominated for the award in the same year as they were previously in the frame in 2016 and 2018.
Neither Castleknock’s Kilkenny or Ballintubber’s O’Connor have won this award before with O’Connor previously winning the Young Footballer of the Year accolade in 2011 and 2012.
Between them the trio have eight All-Star awards with Fenton having won four, Kilkenny claiming three and O’Connor recognised just once previously in 2014.
Six different Dublin players have been crowned Footballer of the Year since 2010 while Mayo have had recent winners in Lee Keegan (2016) and Andy Moran (2017).
The nominees were decided by a panel of Gaelic Games media correspondents and the committee was chaired by GAA President John Horan. The award will be voted on exclusively by inter-county players.
