On Sunday against Kildare in the Leinster football final, Stephen Cluxton will join elite company.
In, this, his 17th season with his county senior side, the Parnells man will make his 88th senior championship appearance.

The evergreen Sean Cavanagh continues to do the extraordinary and, with at least two games left for Tyrone in 2017 - one of which is on Sunday in the Ulster final - the Moy man should also equal the Kerry duo's record, if not surpass it by the end of the campaign.

Sit back and enjoy two of the greatest. Who knows when or where it will end.
