The FAI have released the list of nominees for this years FAI International Awards.

The three nominees for the Senior International Player Of The Year are Robbie Brady, Johnathan Walters and Wes Hoolahan.

Brady is also nominated for the Young Player Of The Year, alongside Cyrus Christie and Jeff Hendrick. Those who may be surprised at Christie's nomination, given that he has played three times for the senior team should remember that the current holder of the award is Jack Grealish.

The contenders for the Goal Of The Year are

Robbie Brady's strike through the fog against Bosnia, Jonathan Walters' strike against Georgia and Shane Long's goal against Germany, which we assume will not be defeated.

The awards will take place on Sunday.

Here are the full list of nominees:
