Trevor Giles

Trevor Giles is an Irish former Gaelic footballer for the Meath county team who is regarded as one of the best players of his generation and plays club football for Skryne. He came to prominence when he won an All-Ireland minor medal with Meath in 1992, and in 1993 he moved to the under-21 team and won an All-Ireland title, coming on as a substitute in the final. He went on to win two All-Ireland senior medals, three Leinster Senior Football Championship medals and one National League medal, usually playing in the half forward line. He won three All Star awards and was chosen as the All Stars Footballer of the Year in 1996 and 1999, still the only player to do so as of 2019, and Texaco Footballer of the Year in 1999. He suffered injury setbacks, rupturing a cruciate knee ligament in the 1998 Leinster final loss to Kildare.
