But no jealously and hatred for all things Dublin is as strong as ever." If you want your "wow what an achievement" reaction then post it on the Dublin forum!

Honestly Clon you're flogging a dead horse here. Very few posters outside of Dublin give a damn. I imagine it would be different if it had been any other player bar a Dublin player. Goes with being the best. Ask Kilkenny all about it during their glory years. Kerry too I imagine. We know it's an achievement. As does he. That's all that matters.

I do understand it's a great achievement. But let's not kid ourselves. That's not why you posted it. It's in no way a topic for debate. Its called, let's put it on the main forum and dare someone to be outspoken about SC so you can get annoyed and play the victim again. Tell me what the rest of Ireland can really say about Cluxton that hasn't been said a hundred times over on here?

I think Cluxton is amazing definitely the best keeper ive seen in football. But stats like first to 100 are pointless as a comparison in any modern sport. His number of years service many as captain a much better indicator.
I find it hilarious when rugby fans point to a players greatness by pointing to 100 munster caps or so many Ireland caps. The number of games played a season cant compare to yesteryear.
As i said in an earlier post hes the only Dublin player ill ever love to see win so he must be amazing to see past my dislike for that county

Cluxton is one the great goalies of all time. But there are other contenders.
In terms of greatest footballer ever players like Sean Purcell Sean O Neill and Jack O Se would be considered greater footballers. In term of Dublins greatest player ever. I would put him second greatest. Definatly he has revolutionised the game. But he is not the only goalkeeper to revolutionise the position. Cluxton is the greatest goalkeeper of his generation and greatest captain of his generation. But the greatest Dublin footballer ever is kevin Heffernan. Heffeernan was voted corner forward on the team of the century and the team of the Milleniun. He revolutionised the inside forward position. He was the first roaming corner forward. His battles with Paddy O Brien of Meath the greatest full back of all.time are legendary. He was the leading figure on Dublins first sucessful all Dublin team , the leinster winners in 1955. And was the main player and driving force on Dublins first all Ireland with all Dublin players in 1958. He won 21 senior club Dublin titles. He won 15 senior football club titles in the space of 19 years. And he won 6 Dublin senior hurling club medals also with St Vincents. Cluxton would be the second greatest Dublin footballer ever after Kevin Heffernan.
Anyway here is the top ten greatest goalkeeper's ever in descending order
10 Diarmaid Murphy kerry. Great Kerry goalkeeper from the 00s. Excellent shot stopper who won 4 All-Ireland senior medals for Kerry.
9 Paddy Cullen Dublin. Great Dublin goalkeeper from the 1970s. He won 3 All Ireland senior medals , 6 leinster titles and 4 all stars. The best goalkeeper in Ireland in the mid 1970s.
8 Charlie Nelligan Kerry. Great kerry goalkeeper from 1970s and 1980s. He won 7 senior All Irelands and 9 Munster senior titles. He also won minor All Ireland title. And he won 3 in a row under 21 All Ireland titles. All as a goalkeeper. One of the most decorated goalkeepers ever.
7 Billy Morgan. Cork. Great Cork goalkeeper from the 1970s. He is one of only two goalkeeper's ever to win footballer of the year. He was footballer of the year in 1973 and captained Cork to Sam Maguire in the same year. The best goalkeeper in Ireland in the early 1970s.
6 Johnny McDonnell. Dublin. Great Dublin goalkeeper from 1920s. He played in Sunday Bloody Sunday final v Tippearey . He won 3 in a row All Irelands with Dublin in 1921 1922 1923. Dublins first great goalkeeper and the first great gaa football goalkeeper. He was the leader on that three in row Dublin team of the early twenties.
5 John O leary. Dublin .Great Dublin goalkeeper from the 1980s and 1990s. He won 2 All Irelands and 8 leinster titles. He won 5 all stars and for a decade was the best goalkeeper in Ireland. He had to face great forwards in leinster eg Matt Connor, Colm O Rourke, Bernard Flynn, Brian Stafford and Tevour Giles . And great forwards outside leinster eg Mikey Sheedy, Bomber liston, John Egan, Pat Spillane , Mickey linden ,Larry Tompkins, Martin McHugh, Peter Cavanan and Frank McGuigan and many more. Yet for a decade he was the most consistent goalkeeper in Ireland. He made his debut for Dublin at 19 and made over 70 appearances for Dublin in the championship.
4 Martin Furlong Offaly. Great Offaly goalkeeper from the1970s and 1980s. One of the bravest goalkeeper's ever. He won 3 senior All Ireland medals and along with Meaths Martin O Connell and Colm Coyle, they are only 3 men in leinster outside the Dubs to win 3 All-Irelands in the last hundred years. He is the only goalkeeper to win footballer of the year in the last 45 years.
3 Johnny Geraghty. Galway . Great Galway goalkeeper of 1960s. He won 3 All Irelands in a row with Galway in the 1960s. He revolutionised the role of goalkeeper. He was heavily influenced by Gordon Banks , the English soccer winning World cup goalkeeper of the same period. In the three years , 1964 , 1965 and 1966 Galway won 3 All Irelands in a row and in every single championship game in those three years Johnny Geraghty did not concede a single goal. The first modern great GAA goalkeeper.
2 Stephen Cluxton. Dublin. Great Dublin goalie from 00s and now. First player to captain a 4 in a row All Ireland winning teams. He also has won 5 all stars. He revolutionised the game with his kickouts. A real leader and very brave also. One of Dublins greatest players ever.
1 Dan O Keefe. Kerry. Great kerry goalkeeper from 1930s and 1940s. Dan O Keefe was voted goalkeeper on the gaa team of the century and gaa team of the Milleniun. He revolutionised the role of goalie. Goalkeeper's were now seen as having important role and was a specialied position. He played senior football for kerry for 17 years from 1931 to 1948. His last game for kerry was at the age of 41. He was the first player ever to reach 60 inter county appearances. He won 7 All Irelands and was the first player ever to win 7 football All Irelands. He kept that record till 1986. He also won 13 Munster senior titles , which is a record to this day. And played in 14 Munster senior football finals losing 1 Munster final. And that Munster final he lost by one single point. The first truly great goalkeeper, the greatest of them all.

8 Charlie Nelligan Kerry 1970s 80s.

Replying To Jackeen: "It's not about him being GOAT. It's about him being the first player to reach 100 championship games." No. If the OP left it at 100 championship games fair enough. But he tried to ram it down our throats about him being the GOAT.
A 'tell me how great he is post'. There's a way of posting something without this craven attempt for attention.

Hardly tried ramming it down anyone's throat, he is entitled to his opinion just like we all are. I've absolutely no objection anyone saying he isn't the best keeper of all time. Opinions are subjective and if you can give well thought out, balanced and defendable alternatives then everyone should be all ears. Furlong1949 gave an excellent and extensive response unlike yourself spouting the following: Cluxton has a limited repertoire of skills, longevity being par for the course for a keeper, making comparisons with outfield players and so on. I'd love to know if a similar thread was set up about a player from another county would you have such a bee in your bonnet? You've made your opinions on the matter known in multiple posts so just leave it at that.

Honorable mentions to Cormac Sullivan (Meath) Paul Hearty (Armagh) Paul Durcan (Donegal) of more recent time. All three were great goalkeepers who manned the square with Authority and had good restarts throughout their respective careers prior to the importance of the restart which has really taken off in the last 5-10 yrs.
