Meath legend Graham Geraghty opened up about the excruciating pain he suffered after brain surgery and revealed he counts himself so lucky to have escaped with no side effects.

The 1999 All-Ireland winning skipper underwent a seven-and-a-half-hour operation last October after suffering a bleed on the brain. Speaking on BBC Sounds’ The GAA Social podcast, Geraghty said there was a moment during his recovery when the pain was so severe that he said, “I have enough, if you’re going to take me, take me”.
