We love a good GAA jersey at a non-GAA event.
James Clayton won the adulation and tickled the Irish nation’s collective funny bone, recently, when he was pictured in a sleeveless Kerry football jersey during the Met Gala in New York.
The NYC native was looking lean, mean and sleeveless as he was captured by cameras snapping Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at the fashion event.

Clayton was on Radio Kerry today and gave the story behind the infamous photo-bomb and, more importantly, where he picked up the jersey.
He commented, ‘I am New York’s number one Kerry fan. I’m an ambassador for Kerry and I honestly don’t think anyone represents The Kingdom as well [as I do]… I tell people that. They can see it in my eyes, they can smell it. I’m just a huge fan.’
