The ultimate player and leader. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1913 - 15/09/2019 20:50:19 2235784 Link 5 |
Let's put it another way,who stopped Kerry's bid for five in a row ? Turning point was a Furlong save. Seamus Darby gets the plaudits but not too many remember a goalkeepers influences on games and Cluxton is in a different class. No question about his legacy.

Think that was the last time we will see him playing for Dublin tbh. Looked like himself and Bernard were saying their last goodbyes to the Dublin fans on their lap of honour last night. #Legends Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3736 - 15/09/2019 21:00:37 2235794 Link 3 |
It's always hard to comment on a Dublin player and not be accused of having the blue tinted glasses on but he is a one of a kind IMO. I watched him yesterday pluck a kid out of the Cusack stand, little guy handed over by his dad, and Clucko walked him around with him around with the team and then jogged the kid back over to his dad from the Hogan stand. He stopped again there for photos and to sign autographs. He could have been centre stage with the lads and the cup but instead he spent the victory lap with the kids and their parents. Apart from being a great shot stopper, his commanding presence in the air (fisting away, fielding), his revolutionising of the kick-out, his penalty stopping record, his ability to take 45s, his perfectionism and training ethic, the guy is just a great leader and class act. A true legend and I really hope that when he does hang up the boots that he becomes a member of the backroom team. His leadership and experience would be invaluable.

Player Of The Year by a distance, it's NOT even an argument. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9706 - 16/09/2019 00:56:53 2235890 Link 3 |
He is great. I think this was his best year ever. His distribution is like Tom Brady's. (American fella not a lad from Cavan). PS. Piano, could you not have posted this in the one of the other 543 threads about Stevo and reactivated it rather than opening 544 ;) BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 16/09/2019 01:59:52 2235903 Link 0 |
He had one save to make in the final, and the ball was kicked straight at him. Not exactly spectacular stuff now Halfdinnerandraspberrycheesecake (Leitrim) - Posts: 48 - 16/09/2019 08:15:59 2235912 Link 3 |

That 60 yard kick he nailed 2nd half was outrageous. He nailed another one to Fenton in the first half, Cusack stand side that complimented the pace of Fentons run perfectly even with a Kerry man on his shoulder. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 16/09/2019 11:01:27 2235987 Link 2 |

I think so, definitely the greatest goalkeeper there's ever been, don't know about the greatest footballer of all time to be honest though. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1349 - 16/09/2019 11:55:38 2236022 Link 3 |
