The Dublin midfielder did it all in a glittering career
As Brian Fenton brings the curtain down on a remarkable career, here are some of the numbers behind his glorious spell at the heart of the Dublin team.2 - The number of Footballer of the Year awards that Fenton has, placing him alongside Trevor Giles, David Clifford, Jack O’Shea, Jimmy Keaveney and James McCartan Snr as the only players to have won the prize, in its various iterations, more than once.
7 - The number of All-Ireland senior medals that Fenton won. Only 16 players in the history of the game have won more - 11 of them former Dublin teammates of his.10 - How many seasons he played with Dublin. It’s also his tally of Leinster medals, albeit a very much diminished currency these days. 43 - That’s how many Championship games Fenton played for Dublin before finally tasting defeat against Mayo in 2021. It would be 45 but for the fact that Jim Gavin rested him on two occasions.84 - Or 4-72, if you like. That’s what Fenton scored across his 64 Championship games, an average of 1.3 points per game.
