Cluxton and Clarke hoping to become first keeper named Footballer of Year since 1982

For the first time in the history of the PwC All-Stars, there are four candidates for the footballer of the year including two goalkeepers, David Clarke and Stephen Cluxton, writes John Fogarty.

The Mayo and Dublin men have been shortlisted along with James McCarthy and Andy Moran for the award, which will be announced on Friday, November 3. Cluxton was a nominee along with Darran O’Sullivan in 2011 when Alan Brogan was selected. Clarke was All Star goalkeeper last year and Moran won his only All Star award in 2011.
