Cristiano Ronaldo.

In an Irish context, Sean Cavanagh for his worldwide exploits, with very honourable mentions to Paddy Harrington, Kenny Egan and Eoin Larkin in that order.
Chris Porter of Motherwell would be my international sports star of the year for his superb equaliser from two yards against Rangers in May that handed the initiative to Celtic in the SPL title race.
Good shout for Porter Sid. I’d have the Manchester police ahead maybe for the frolics with the hun fans but hard to argue between them.
On a more local level for the TFK Astro team it gives me little pleasure but to concede that I was probably player of the calendar year. An unfortunate broken bone meant I missed much of the spring and then a wedding and resultant honeymoon put paid to most of the summer. But when I was there I was superb and regrettably the lads struggled without me.
Honourable mentions to Bandage who suffered a loss of form in the summer but seems to have recovered somewhat in recent weeks after stomach tuck surgery and to Briantinnion who continues to impress all with his tidy and downright attractive general appearance.
