What more needs to be said about this young man.
When you score 4-04 in an All-Ireland Minor Final there is something a little bit special about you.
When you score 10-68 in your minor career there is something special about you.
David Clifford has all the makings of an inter-county star, he'll be with the seniors next year probably.
Whether he'll start remains to be seen but never has there been a more hyped up minor in GAA history, or at least in recent years.
But with all that talent comes interest from abroad, GAA players moving to Australia is no new thing. Ciaran Kilkenny is among the most high profile current players that went down under to give it a go.
And the AFL haven't exactly been subtle about interest for Clifford.

Clifford is one of the golden prospects in Kerry GAA, he's the one that is supposed to bring them to glory for years to come and now he might do just that.
The Irish Examiner understands that the Fossa man has turned down the chance to play in the AFL after talks with Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice.
According to the newspaper, the player wants to break into the senior team for Kerry rather than make the leap to Australian Rules.
Kerry star Paul Geaney has long been bullish that Clifford would stay in Kerry saying that he believes there is more for Clifford to achieve in Ireland rather than abroad:
"He can achieve more by staying at home and he’ll be fine career-wise, people at home will look after him so hopefully."
