I have to say Cluxton seems to get most things correct both on and off the field. He is not a natural people person and he shuns the camera. He just gets on with it! As goes with the high pressures of Inter-county football, he has had a few wobbles here and there. But that is life and his successes have well out weighed these/those. Opening a Topic on him is a bit of a waste of time. We know his value and just leaves the topic open to rubbish remarks (and images - I hold my hand up!!).

This is Cluxton after losing an AI semi final!

Was there an issue with dubs forwards sledging and pointing at the scoreboard in a game a few years ago.

Do you have to say it and is that an achievement?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

No point mentioning it, hes not rated by many on here.

To me, probably the greatest keeper and one of the great GAA players of all time in overall terms, ability, leadership, longevity, game smarts and silverware.

Legend of the game tbf, hard to believe he doesn't have a FOTY award although I'm sure his 7 (?) all Irelands are a consolation to him

If it's true that he's retiring after the 5-in-a-row then a number of things need acknowledged. The greatest keeper of all time and the man who lead a leaderless Dublin team to 7 all Ireland's..

i think not only is he the greatest Dublin goalkeeper of all time, I think he is the greatest Dublin footballer of all time..

He's changed the face of the game with his kick outs and the realisation by teams of how influential a good kick out strategy can be.

Two most influential players in that regard this century imo him and Dooher.

Hard to believe its 2013 since his last All star.

Are they picked by Irish GAA journalists? If so, then not hard to believe. A more vacuous lot you could not come across.
