Are These The Hottest Men in the GAA?

To give the results of this survey a fair appraisal, you'll probably have to study it in depth and for a long, long time.  The lads over at Paddy Power have taken it upon themselves to find the definitive answer to one of GAA's most pressing questions... which players are the most poc-ing gorgeous. To eliminate any county-driven bias, they asked 1,000 American women to rate the players, and the results make for some surprising findings. Usual suspects like Aidan O'Shea and Bernard Brogan weren't even in the running - and now we're rethinking everything we thought we knew. So, who is it that you should be looking out for on the big match days? Topping the charts was a hurler from the capital. Meet Shane Durkin. Shane was followed in the rankings by Westmeath footballer Paddy Holloway. Cork's Eoin Cadogan had to settle for the third spot.   Galway's Fergal Moore and Kilkenny's Kieran Joyce rounded off the top five, with Armagh's Aidan Forker, Donegal's Paddy McBrearty, Kerry's Anthony Maher, Cork's Stephen Cronin and Galway's Danny Cummins all making the top ten. Overall, the Galway footballers featured more players in the top 100 than any other team, followed by the Dublin footballers and the Sligo footballers. The Galway hurlers also made the top five, so if you're planning on a single ladies' night out it seems the west most certainly is best. Top 25 Players 1. Shane Durkin – Dublin Hurling 2.
