Cluxton was a one off and changed the roll, Morgan from Tyrone is prob the bedt currently out there. Horsebox77 (Kerry) - Posts: 5491 - 14/09/2021 15:55:30 2380658 Link 1 |

Obviously I am biased but Damien Fitzhenry by a country mile. He was a hero for all kids my age growing up and blessed to have seen him play in my formative years. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 224 - 14/09/2021 17:17:52 2380699 Link 0 |
Horsebox77 (Kerry)- Seen Nelligan in action, very good, Martin Furlong was also good and so was Seamus Derby even though I don't think he was a goal keeper!!. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 14/09/2021 17:47:59 2380710 Link 7 |
Morgan and Beggan would probably have more talent than Cluxton. Cluxton shouldn't be under-estimated either though the guy has 7 all-Ireland medals he played a major part in all those wins too, his presence and leadership on a team and panel (the year he retires Dublin lose the all-Ireland semi-final), his longevity to sustain that level of performance so long and his skills of blocking shots, catching dropping balls and his kick-outs all come in to his brilliance, certainly he doesn't have the distance in his kicks that Beggan and Morgan have. Cluxton was on the Dublin panel near enough 20 seasons in that length of time of course there will be a few mistakes but overall I think the guy was a great goalkeeper. But there is still a few more years left in Beggan and Morgan, they could change my mind yet.

Gary Connaughton was brilliant in his day. Pulled many a point off the top of the crossbar and was great at closing forwards down. He was a commanding presence in the box and was constantly communicating to his defense. The all Ireland qualifiers of 2006 took Westmeath to Pearse Stadium against Galway. The talk all week was about Ja Fallon returning for Galway and the form he was in. The first high ball into the Westmeath end Gary comes thundering out takes Fallon and ball out. Ja wobbled off the field being linked by two people. Westmeath beat Galway after extra time.
