If Cluxton starts on Sat night it will be his 100th League game for Dublin.
Some achievement and joins a very exclusive club. I honestly don't think Dublin will ever have another like him.
In this day and age to have that level of consistency and enjoy such longevity is very rare.
I often dreamed of playing 1 game for Dublin or even get 10 minutes! To see a fella playing his 100th league game and have about 94 championship starts to boot is unreal stuff and again to maintain such a high level of performance across all those minutes...
Legendary stuff.

From the mouth of Tomas O'Se this week just gone...
"And, for the record, I didn't seek him out to give him the ball after he'd nailed that free against us to win the 2011 All-Ireland.
He just happened to be the nearest Dub to me and, having the ball in my possession at the final whistle, I just instinctively handed it over. It could have been to anyone.
People felt I should have been insulted afterwards at the way he just kicked it away, but I didn't even see that happen.
And you know something? Even if I had, I'd nearly admire him more for doing it, because it told me this guy had no interest in the peripheral stuff, the glory element, the hype. Once the game was over, he just wanted out of there. He didn't need a memento.
But someone obviously got it into his head that it might have looked insulting to me.
It was the following Wednesday, me hardly knowing my arse from my elbow on the drive home from Killarney, when the phone rang in the car. "Look," he said to me, "I just wanted to say I didn't mean any offence by that."
My response was, "Jesus, Stephen, I didn't take any. Not a bit of it!" I thought it was decent of him to make that call because he didn't have to. It told me that there's a really genuine, human side to this fella that he doesn't see any need to advertise. His greatness is all he gives us.
We've no right to expect anything more."

Charlie even managed to lob john o'leary from a penalty on the show :-0 it was great seeing the clips from the 4 in a row games with Meath again. Class.
