All Ireland Champions Kerry have been rewarded for another memorable season, with the majority of the team being nominated for the 2009 GAA Football All Stars.
All of the players, bar three, that started in Sunday's final win over Cork make the nominations list for the awards, sponsored by Vodafone.
Twelve counties are represented in the list, compared to seven in hurling, with defeated finalists Cork having the second highest total with 10 nominees, Tyrone third with five and Dublin in fourth with four nominees.
Champions Kerry also have two players, Paul Galvin and Tomas Ó Sé, shortlisted for Footballer of the Year, with Cork's Graham Canty the other nominee.
The Young Footballer of the Year will be decided between Donegal's Michael Murphy, Cork's Colm O'Neill and Mayo's Aidan O'Shea.
Only five of last year's All Stars team are nominated - Kerry's Tomas Ó Sé, Declan O'Sullivan and Colm Cooper and Tyrone's Justin McMahon and Davy Harte.
Wicklow are rewarded for a year in which they played a record six championship games by having two players nominated, Leighton Glynn and Ciarán Hyland.
They will be hoping to join the Garden County's sole recipient to date on the All Stars list, Kevin O'Brien.
Antrim, in the shape of June Player of the Month Michael McCann, have their first nominee since 2000 while Mayo's Trevor Mortimer will be hoping to join his brothers Kenneth (1996) and Conor (2006) on the All-Stars. His team-mate Andy Moran also received a nomination.
The All Star winners will be announced at a banquet on Friday 16 October.
