Well-wishes have been pouring in for Graham Geraghty after the Meath GAA great was hospitalised.
The GAA community is rallying around Geraghty and his family, with the two-time All-Ireland winner in Beaumont Hospital where he was set to be operated on this morning.
"The football community are wishing Graham well, he's in Beaumont at the moment," said his former Meath team-mate Bernard Flynn.
"The amount of good wishes that myself and other friends of Graham have received on his behalf is overwhelming. It's a time now for his family.
"We roomed together for the Ireland v England game for two nights in February, and the fun and craic we had, and we've had a few meet ups since.
"All our prayers are with Graham, Amanda and their kids."
Dublin GAA legend Bernard Brogan commented: "Wishing Graham a speedy recovery! Top man and legend of our game."
Armagh All-Ireland winner and SDLP MLA Justin McNulty tweeted: "Best wishes to Graham Geraghty and praying for a speedy recovery of a warrior Gael."
The Meath GAA Supporters club said: "Thinking of a legend of @MeathGAA, Graham Geraghty today as he undergoes serious surgery today after falling ill on Tuesday. Our prayers are with Graham and his family at this difficult time."
Rory's Stories posted: "Best wishes to Graham today, as he has a very serious operation. Thoughts and prayers with the Meath legend and his family."
Sinn Fein TD for Meath West Johnny Guirke said: "Wishing Graham Geraghty a speedy recovery, a warrior on the pitch for Meath, a leader and great community man. Our thoughts are with Amanda and family at this time."
Married with four children, Geraghty enjoyed a stellar career with Meath, winning three Leinster titles as well as two All-Irelands. He also won two All Star awards.
The Seneschalstown player represented Ireland in the International Rules Series between 1999 and 2006.
Geraghty also entered the world of politics while still an inter-county player - he stood unsuccessfully for election as a Fine Gale candidate in the 2007 election in the Meath West constituency.
