Graham Geraghty's wife Amanda thanked those in the GAA community for their support as she shared an update on the Meath legend's recovery.
Geraghty, 47, took ill earlier this week and underwent an operation in Beaumont Hospital yesterday morning.
“Myself and my children want to thank everyone for the thousands of messages of support,” said Amanda Geraghty posted on Facebook.
“We know that everyone in the GAA community is praying for Graham.
“His operation went well yesterday but he is just off the face of the cliff. He is certainly not out of the woods the next five days are critical and he has a long road of recovery in front of him but we know the Gods on the Hill of Tara will pull one of their best warriors through.”
There was relief yesterday when news of Geraghty's successful operation broke, with Meath GAA tweeting: "Some good news!!!
"The Meath GAA community are delighted to hear that Graham Geraghty has come out of his operation which went successfully. Best wishes from all of us with your recovery."
While Geraghty's club Clann na nGael said: "Some good news!!! The @Club_na_Mi community are delighted to hear that Graham Geraghty has come out of his operation which went successfully. Best wishes from all of us with your recovery. #GAABelong"
The Royals icon won two All-Ireland senior football titles in a stellar career with Meath, as well as three Leinster titles, and won two All-Star awards and messages of support have poured in from team-mates and former rivals alike.
