Peter Canavan believes Paul Geaney is the leading contender for the Footballer of the Year award at this moment in time.
In his Irish Independent column, the Tyrone legend picks his top 10 footballers in the country this year, with the Kerry attacker leading the way heading into the business end of the championship.
"The Dingle man tops the list on the basis that he has been the most consistent forward in the country, putting in good showings across both the latter stages of the National League and in the championship so far," Canavan wrote.
"There is no doubting his talent, but he is maturing into a more physical, prolific and, most importantly, consistent player for the Kingdom."
Canavan's Top 10 is as follows:
1. Paul Geaney - Kerry
2. Ciarán Kilkenny - Dublin
3. Pádraig Hampsey - Tyrone
4. Enda Smith - Roscommon
5. James O'Donoghue - Kerry
6. Brian Fenton - Dublin
7. Tiernan McCann - Tyrone
8. Kieran Hughes - Monaghan
9. Aidan O'Shea - Mayo
10. Kevin Feely - Kildare
