Jamie Wall has been praised by RTE Late Late Show viewers after his 'inspirational' interview on tonight's show.
The Cork native joined Ryan Tubridy in studio to discuss his life with serious paralysis after suffering an injury in 2014 that left him paralysed from his midriff down.
He was part the Rebels 2010 All-Ireland minor football team that lost to Tyrone and went on to play for three years with the U-21 team, while also claiming a place on the 2012 and 2013 U-21 hurling squads.
But since his injury, he's gone on to enjoy an successful career as a GAA manager both with his club Kilbrittain GAA and Mary Immaculate College.
And as he shared his story and outlook on life, TV viewers took to social media to praise the 'inspirational' Mary I boss.
One viewer said: "Jamie Wall is an inspiration to so many, he has gone through so much and still has a fantastic attitude and outlook. Great interview with him tonight".
"No surprise that Jamie Wall became a serious coach, (He's) a serious and inspirational fella!," another added.
One said: "Jamie wall is the definition of a role model. Making the absolute best of a bad situation, going right to the top in sports in Ireland".
"Could have listened to Jamie Wall speak for the show, unreal positivity and outlook on life," one fan said.
The Cork man's life changed forever on June 28th, 2014, three days after he had played in the Munster intermediate hurling final for Cork.
The hugely talented young player suddenly began to lose power in both his legs. Doctors quickly found that an abscess had developed on his spine.
He was rushed to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin for emergency spinal surgery - but the damage that had already been caused left him paralysed from his midriff down.
Speaking a year after the injury that changed his life; Jamie said: "Before my dream was to win an All-Ireland, now my dream is to be part of a group of people who are looking for a way out of the wheelchair and a cure.
"I suppose that's my new All-Ireland. What motivates me is the thought of pushing boundaries and achievement. At the moment my idea of achievement is very different from what I would have liked it to be. Like I say, my outlook on life hasn't really changed."
