Early Life
Cluxton was born into a soccer background. His father Pat Cluxton won a lot of medals with Postal Celtic. Cluxton played soccer at St David's primary school in Artane, County Dublin, and played at left back or on the left wing with Tolka Rovers. It wasn't until he went to St David's secondary school that he began to play Gaelic football. He played at corner forward for St Davids until the school goalkeeper Robert O'Connor was suspended. Cluxton was asked to stand in for him in that position and he has remained in that position ever since.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“The new man is born too old to tolerate the new world. The present conditions of life have not yet erased the traces of the past. We run too fast, but we still do not move enough.... He looks but he does not contemplate, he sees but he does not think. He runs away from time, which is made of thought, and yet all he can feel is his own time, the present.”
—Eugenio Montale (1896–1981)
