Martin McHugh - Ranked seventh best in the Centre Half-Forward position
Relatively small in stature, Martin McHugh was still capable of exerting a massive influence on games, as he did during a long and exerting career that included 138 senior games with Donegal.
An All-Ireland U-21 title winner in 1982, he and many of his teammates graduated to senior level and brought the All-Ireland senior to Donegal for the first time in 1992.
Twice an All-Star winner in 1983 and 1992, and he was Footballer of the Year in 1992.
He also managed Cavan to Ulster success in 1997.
The No 11 position was filled by Galway's Seán Purcell in the final cut.
