    Cluxton snubs sponsorship

    Dublin goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton has turned down the opportunity to cash in on his All-Ireland winning heroics.

    According to the Irish Sun, the Parnell's clubman - who is a notoriously private person and rarely gives media interviews - could make up to €30,000 from sponsorship deals after kicking the winning free against Kerry last Sunday. However, the report says he is only interested in doing charity work.

    "We've told him that he must be mad not doing any publicity with the money that's in it. But he won't do it," said John Honan, who is principal of St. Vincent's CBS, Glasnevin where Cluxton is a member of the teaching staff.

    "He says he doesn't want it and he'll only do charity. He's only interested in the game, not the celebrity."

    Former Dublin footballer and PR agent Mick O'Keeffe believes Cluxton is the most marketable star in Irish sport at present.

    "Some players transcend counties and Cluxton is one of a small number of these. Youngsters from here to Galway would know his name and who he is," O'Keeffe said.

    "The biggest stars in Ireland can make up to €50,000 per annum in deals. Counting ad campaigns, sponsorship deals, the value of a free car and so on, I'd say Stephen Cluxton could easily make in excess of €30,000 this year. I'd have clients falling over themselves to sign him up at the moment."
