Stephen Cluxton in goals.Brilliant at all aspects of goalkeeping.

Martin Furlong can't be considered in my opinion because his kickouts werent great

There's so many to choose from Stephen Cluxton, John O Leary, Diarmuid Murphy, Charlie Nelligan, Martin Furlong and Paddy Cullen.

For me it has to be Martin Furlong (Offaly). The man has won 3 All Irelands, 4 All Stars and 7 Leinster Medals in his 19 years as Senior first choice Keeper. Now thats impressive!!

Martin Furlong of Offaly


Just pips Kerry's Dan O'Keefe. Cluxton not even Dublin's best in my opinion.

I don't know some of the names mentioned but in my lifetime it would be Cluxton, I think he has redefined the role of the goalkeeper in gaelic football.
