Five Irish players have been named in the PFA Championship, League One, and League Two Teams of the Year for 2011-12.

After helping his side to promotion, Reading left-back Ian Harte was chosen in the Championship TOTY for the second year running, while Milton Keynes duo Stephen Gleeson and Darren Potter were named beside Stephen Quinn in the League One TOTY midfield.
