Dublin star Sean Bugler has name hilariously messed up in GAA Instagram mistake

Sean Bugler's fine performance in Dublin's 1-16 0-13 win over Tyrone has earned him a nomination for the GAA Player of the Week this week - but all is not what it seems with his entry on the official GAA Instagram.

Bugler was Dublin's best outfield player on a day where clubmate Bernard Brogan may have seen some of his last inter-county action.

He used the ball wisely, using his size and energy to wind his way through the Tyrone fortifications before letting a pass or shot fly - and it was usually the right option.

His incisive play led him to pop over 0-3, while it was a Bugler run and unselfish lofted ball that set up the Eoghan O'Gara goal in added time.

The nomination is fine recognition for the young forward's efforts - but it seems the GAA were struck by a classic autocorrect error when doing up their poll.

Instead of voting for Paddy Durcan, Sean O'Shea, or Sean Bugler, the choices are Durcan, O'Shea - and Sean Burger.

As far as we could tell, there's no record of a Sean Burger ever playing for Dublin.

Indeed, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone named Burger pulling on the sky blue in recent years - the closest we could come up with is Paul Flynn, who had a Gourmet Food Parlour burger named after him back in 2015.

We are open to correction here so do get in touch if you remember any Dublin Burgers.

As for Bugler himself, the Oliver Plunkett's youngster will be hoping for many more personal accolades like this one, so let's hope we all have his surname saved to our phone dictionaries in future.
