The odds on David Clifford winning the Footballer of the Year award for a third time continue to shorten after his barnstorming display in Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final. Clifford shot 1-9 as Kerry cruised past Tyrone and into the All-Ireland final and leads the betting ahead of Donegal’s Michael Murphy for the game’s most prestigious individual honour.

For most of the afternoon the Tyrone forwards had been forced to live off scraps, while at the other end of the field David Clifford was in gluttonous form, finishing the game with 1-9 and ensuring Pádraig Hampsey will spend a few nights seeing the back of his Kerry jersey in his nightmares.
