Stephen Cluxton

[TheGreatest]

Id hold my breath until the first or second round of championship, he did play a challenge match at the weekend with his club though, centre back.

It puts a different complexion on the championship altogether then. He was still Dublins most important player and although Comerford looks like a decent keeper he has not come under any great scrutiny in championship football. His kickout will be targeted now by other top teams this year.

Cluxton undoubtedly was the best keeper in GAA history, he revolutionised the position so much so that all other top keepers are now viewed as semi clones of his.   

Me arse.

McGeeney revolutionised the goalkeeper position by beginning the fly goalie revolution back in 2016 v Cavan. Look how many have copied it since. Sure keepers never are on their line these days. That was more influential than anything Cluxton ever did.

Cluxton is liable to just walk away with no fuss with no press releases or tweets. I know he is getting on in years but the timing would be very strange given the short nature of this season and the opportunity for him to win a record 9th AI medal.   

You get the impression from Cluxton that these things don't really bother or matter to him all that much.

Great keeper who has a strong sense of decency running through him and is as admirable as his undoubted footballing abilities.

Very true. Similar to the Bosman and the Panenka terms in soccer, it really should be known as 'doing a Courtney' when a gaelic football keeper comes marauding up the pitch. Revolutionary stuff alright!

Fully agree on this. He revolutionised goalkeeping and Brian Dooher revolutionised the half forward position.

I don't think Dublin will be quite as good without him but they will still basically be unbeatable.

Greg Blaney revolutionised the half forward position.

Larry Tompkins revolutionised going to a county that had a hope of winning an AI.

Pat Spillane revolutionised diving and playing dead in Gaelic football.

If he has retired- all the very best to him. What player!

Ok to be more specific the wing half forward position.

The GAA revolutionised Dublin. What a success story that has turned out to be?

Cluxton started 20 years ago too, I'd say there's a few differences between them

Greatest wing forward of all time . Dont be so spiteful
