Which footballer is the all-time scorer?

A. Cillian O’Connor

B. Aidan O’Shea

C. Peter Canavan

D. Colm Cooper

Cillian O’Connor is All-Ireland’s all-time leading scorer in Gaelic Football. As of Feb. 20, 2024, he has 447 tallies from 31 goals and 354 points. O’Connor has averaged 6.8 per game since his Mayo debut in 2011.

Second-place Colm Cooper of Kerry trails O’Connor by nearly 100 points, as the five-time All-Ireland winner retired in 2017 with 352 tallies. Fellow Mayo footballer Aidan O’Shea is the fifth most experienced footballer, helping them to six All-Ireland Finals, but has not scored nearly as often as the scoring greats. Peter Canavan ranks 18th all-time in scoring as the Tyrone footballer-turned-analyst had 219 tallies throughout his career before bowing out on top with All-Ireland championships in 2003 and 2005.
