"These Things Happen" - Jim Gavin On Stephen Cluxton
Stephen Cluxton has played a massive part in the success of the Dublin senior footballers over the last number of years.
The Dublin goalkeeper's great leadership qualities as skipper and incredible kick-out accuracy are key to this Dubs team.
Another element is his calmness under pressure but that disappeared in a nervy seven minute spell before the break in today's All-Ireland semi-final.
In the 30th minute Kerry pushed up on Dublin's kick-out, in zonal form, but Cluxton still attempted a short one to the right flank which he landed straight into the hands of Paul Geaney.
The Kerry forward found Donnchadh Walsh who in turn found Darran O'Sullivan and he tucked home the first goal for the Kingdom.
For the second goal, Geaney beat Cluxton in an aerial battle on the line to score the second Kerry goal as the Dublin net-minder looked rattled.
Kerry went in at the break leading by 5 points and after the game, Dublin manager Jim Gavin was asked if Cluxton was angry with himselfConsidering Dublin were 5 points behind and how hard Kerry made it for them, did Gavin feel it was the best win this bunch of players has ever achieved?
