David Clifford lived up to his billing at Croke Park as Kerry were crowned All-Ireland champions for the first time since 2014.
The Fossa sharpshooter has long been described as a generational talent and now he has the All-Ireland senior medal to go with his collection.
Clifford won two All-Ireland minor titles, scoring an amazing 4-4 in the second final against Derry and has long been tipped to reach the very top in the senior grade.

This triumph - Kerry's 38th in all - is all the sweeter for the fact he claimed the top prize in the game with brother Paudie also part of the Kingdom attack.
The pair enjoyed the celebrations together at Croke Park as Galway were edged out and it's not the first time the pair have been part of Kerry Sam Maguire parties.
An amazing picture unearthed from the 2000 All-Ireland celebrations shows the brothers enjoying the Kingdom homecoming.
Galway were also on the losing end in that final - after a replay - but back then the Clifford pair were strapped into a pram at Kerry airport.
Nothing could contain the Kerry talents today at Croke Park as Paudie went through an ocean of ball and David shone up front showing his full array of skills and finishing with a tally of 0-8.
After landing the All-Ireland title he always looked destined for, David Clifford will be favourite for Footballer of the Year with Kerry legend Pat Spillane saying in the RTE studio 'just give it to him now and get it over with'.
David already has three All-Stars and a Young Footballer of the year award. Paudie won an All-Star last year.
