David Clifford mobbed by young supporters after Fossa advance to All-Ireland final

Clifford-Mania continued as reigning footballer of the year David Clifford was mobbed by fans in O'Moore Park.

Fossa were competing in the All-Ireland semi-final against Castletown with Clifford scoring six points from play as well as tagging on a free.

And the Kerry man was mobbed by young supporters at full time.

And such was the excitement surrounding the forward, fans were warned about entering the field of play during the game.

Dozens upon dozens of young supporters can be seen chasing after Clifford and surrounding him mere moments after the full time whistle.

And speaking to Off The Ball after the game, Clifford said: "it's mad, I was afraid some kid was going to get hurt out there.

"It's great. It's probably worse when you come outside of Kerry because the Kerry folk are probably used to seeing us but it's great to be some sort of a role model for kids and if it keeps them playing Gaelic football for a bit longer then it's great."
