Cluxton without a doubt. The man has a good shout a greatest GK ever Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 06/12/2019 20:29:07 2253627 Link
Replying To Breezy: "Cluxton without a doubt. The man has a good shout a greatest GK ever" Agree. Cluxton definitely. Evidence is there for sure. GormlaighG (Mayo) - Posts: 77 - 06/12/2019 23:51:52 2253649 Link
There can be only one. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 07/12/2019 12:41:01 2253678 Link
Replying To GormlaighG: "Agree. Cluxton definitely. Evidence is there for sure." Cluxton has a fine haul of medals for sure but considering he's played ove 100 championship matches and 95% of them at home is his record really that great? I mean Diarmuid Murphy and Charlie Nelligans records are far better and both played 95% of their games away from home. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 07/12/2019 13:22:50 2253683 Link

I know times have changed but when I was a goalkeeper the stadium/pitch you played in didn't change your ability to stop it kick a ball weather it was home or away Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 07/12/2019 14:28:02 2253690 Link

What does location have to do with your ability to stop a round piece of leather from passing through two metal poles? Are you confusing the sport with orienteering perhaps?

It always helps to be at home ladswith the hill at your back with crowd behind you reffs being kinder just look at no retaking the penalty, not to mention you've kicked out the ball in that stadium for nearly 20 years and you know every swirling breeze as well. It's a known fact the home advantage is massive in sport. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 07/12/2019 17:34:13 2253713 Link

Nothing got to do with natural ability and endless hours of practice? Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 07/12/2019 19:03:55 2253728 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "A grain of rice can tip the scales in sport my furry friend." You're confusing team results with a player's individual ability. Give him a ball and a yard of grass. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 07/12/2019 23:34:02 2253764 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "A grain of rice can tip the scales in sport my furry friend." you are a very bitter kerry man . using an old phrase paidi used to use about the grain of rice . stephen cluxton is the greatest goalie ever and even you should agree with that mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1799 - 10/12/2019 15:27:59 2254116 Link
Has to be Rob Hennelly. No question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thegen (Dublin) - Posts: 30 - 10/12/2019 16:10:34 2254128 Link
Cluxton. Its a debate for who is the second best. Cluxton has changed the game in the way no other keeper ever did. His record speaks for itself. When he retires, and with JG leaving there might actually be a chance for the rest of us. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 10/12/2019 17:52:58 2254159 Link
