STEPHEN CLUXTON (Dublin)
What is it with Dublin and goalkeeping excellence? Cluxton (2002 to the present), John O’Leary (1980-’97) and Paddy Cullen (1967-’79) have won 15 All-Star awards between them in a 6-5-4 share-out. Incredibly, the trio have been Dublin’s first choice at No 1 for 50 of the past 54 years (Davy Byrne had the honour for four seasons in 1998-2001). Cullen and O’Leary set exceptionally high standards, but even they have been surpassed by Cluxton who, at the age of 39, shows no signs of decline. O’Leary heads the rest of the contenders after a brilliant career in which he played in all 70 of Dublin’s championship games for 18 seasons.
