As for Cluxton being a weakness, that's laughable. There isn't a county who wouldn't have him in a heartbeat. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 05/08/2015 13:24:38 1764337 Link 0 |

if all positions are treated equally and a goalie is as important as a back as a forward etc etc..then for me, Cluxton is one of the greatest players to ever play the game, and probably the best Dublin footballer of all time Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 05/08/2015 14:12:22 1764381 Link 0 |

Sure we could all do that Slayer but you think he's a weakness which is laughable honestly, do you think Durcan is a weakness ? I don't but he made the biggest blunder in all Ireland final history it happens there only human , Liam I would agree with that Cluxton is the greatest we've produced no doubt. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 05/08/2015 14:31:53 1764407 Link 0 |
More influential and better than Brian Mullins or Anton O'Toole, each of whom have won four senior All-Irelands medals??. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 05/08/2015 14:35:39 1764416 Link 0 |

Cluxton has iconic status in Dublin GAA.He has revolutionised the art of goalkeeping.He was the pioneer of goalkeepers in taking free kicks and having a high conversion rate.He has scored the winning point in an All Ireland final v Kerry.His kick outs are generally acclaimed to be the best ever.He goes about his business,in a quiet,unassuming & dignified manner.For me anyway,S Cluxton is up there with K Heffernan,B Mullins,J Keavney,C Whelan etc as one of our greats. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 05/08/2015 14:47:45 1764430 Link 0 |

slayer, for the best Dublin footballers of the "modern era" i look at Keaveney, Hickey, Mullins, Barr, O'Leary, Curran, Rock (Snr), Alan Brogan, Bernard Brogan and Stephen Cluxton Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 05/08/2015 15:04:15 1764450 Link 0 |

It was not his goal but his goals in the 2013 All-Ireland Final that were crucial, a player for the big occasion, a truly class player. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 05/08/2015 15:14:03 1764463 Link 0 |
i should add diarmuid connolly and kieran duff also to that list Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 05/08/2015 15:15:57 1764464 Link 0 |
You have probably worked out that the centre half forward spot goes to Trevor Giles. Hard luck to Ciaran McDonald, one of the most skilful players to grace a football field. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 05/08/2015 15:19:02 1764468 Link 0 |
Have to say I think Connolly is a class act. Just seems to find that extra split second to get a score. slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 05/08/2015 15:23:16 1764473 Link 0 |
Stephen Cluxton will be remembered as the greatest goalkeeper of all time, and one of the greatest Gaelic footballers of all time when he decides to call it a day. JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 05/08/2015 15:27:43 1764478 Link 0 |
