Anthony Daly has clarified rumours surrounding his health after worries the GAA legend had been suffering from a serious medical condition.
Daly returned to host the Irish Examiner GAA podcast today but was missing from the show for three weeks.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, the All-Ireland winning captain addressed some of the more unbelievable stories about himself.
“I got a bit of a knockout, as they say in Tipperary. But I’m back," he said.
“Just to clear up…. I didn’t get a triple bypass. I didn’t get a brain tumour. I didn’t die four times in the ambulance. I didn’t even go in an ambulance.
“I got a slight seizure of some sort. They’ve a lot of tests done on me, but I think I’m good. I’m on a few tablets and I can’t drive for a small while as a precaution.
“As my brother Martin says, no one takes away from the story anyway. As he says, “Every time I meet someone, something new has gone wrong, worse again. You died twice in the ambulance, then you died four times’.
“But no, I didn’t go in any ambulance.”
Daly thanked the public for their well-wishes and the staff at the University hospital in Limerick.
“The amount of goodwill as well as gossip is unreal," he said.
“And a word too for the staff in the University hospital in Limerick. It gets a bad press at times. We know it’s overcrowded, because it’s covering Clare and Tipp as well as Limerick, a huge area.
“It can be hectic to get through A&E but the care in there was unbelievable.”
