Ó Sé: 'Phenomenal' Clifford born to win All-Irelands

A deep contentment has settled over Kerry as Sam Maguire spends Christmas in the Kingdom for the first time in eight years.Their anointed one, David Clifford, is king of all he surveys.

Were Kerry the kind of place where you were allowed rest on one All-Ireland win, then you might say he had no more worlds to conquer.

Kerry is not a 'To Win Just Once' sort of environment.But Marc Ó Sé, one of the chief football analysts on GAAGO's coverage for 2023, is wary of the recently deposed empire re-grouping."I think we (Kerry) have a great chance, the fact that you win one, it gives fellas a huge boost, it gives fellas an experience that they want more.

But it doesn't just happen as easily as that."You cast your mind back to the semi-final and final, moments in those games...like, had Seanie O'Shea not kicked that point, you were looking at extra-time."Would Kerry have got over the Dubs in that extra-time period?
