I dont know, but id say Martin Furlong the goalie for offaly wouldnt be Far off. I think he won in 1971 and 1982

i would say john o'leary. just after checking, he got his first in 1984 and his last in 1995. that is eleven years so i would say that one would be hard bet. not sure about hurling though.

Ger Power's first all-star for Kerry was in 1975 and his last was in 1986, eleven years also!

Jimmy Barry Murphy won his first All Star(football) in 1973 and his last All Star(Hurling) in 1986. I would say thats the longest but I could be wrong.

For hurling I'd say it could be Noel Skehan.1972-1983

Well Kilkenny goalkeeping great Noel Skehan won seven All-Star awards - 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1982 and 1983. Must be a record there.
