Stephen O’Brien says that Kerry team mate David Clifford is “just one of these fellas that has it all”.

The former minor star enjoyed an impressive senior debut season with the Kingdom in 2018 and, despite reports of a spell on the sidelines, is set to feature for the Munster champions in the spring after avoiding shoulder surgery.

O’Brien lined-out alongside the Fossa sensation last summer and was hugely impressed by how he shined against some of the top sides in the country in the inaugural Super 8s.

"He has ferocious talent, it's unbelievable," O’Brien told Sky Sports of Clifford. "I know he's only a young fella, but he doesn't look young. He's huge. He's well able for the physical side of things. His ability is there for all to see. He really kicked on in the Super 8s for Kerry in the championship, but I think everyone inside there knew that was in him. Even when the games weren't going as well, it doesn't take a genius to tell that he's a class footballer.

"He has brilliant movement off the ball. He clearly has a ridiculous football intelligence.

"He's a mighty man altogether. In fairness to him he's very down to earth. We were having a bit of a sing-song there and he's unbelievable at singing as well so he just has it all. He won some golf tournament as well last year but he wasn't eligible. He's just one of these fellas that has it all."

"I'll come back to you if I find anything that he's not good at!"
