John O'Leary backs Stephen Cluxton to keep on going

No player has done more to transform the face of Gaelic football than Stephen Cluxton and the bad news for most of the country is that John O’Leary can’t see the Parnells veteran vacating his post between the sticks any time soon.

O’Leary kept goal for Dublin for almost 18 years before retiring in 1997. Cluxton is fast approaching that mark and his predecessor sees no reason why the 35-year old, five-time All-Star can’t keep on keeping on for the reigning champions.

“I played until I was 37. He’s fit, he’s enthusiastic, he has the hunger for it and (if) the sort of stuff around you is all good why wouldn’t you? Why wouldn’t you go for, hopefully, four-in-a-row? That would be the question?
