John Egan in serious condition
John Egan remains in a serious condition at Cork University Hospital following a fall at his Bishopstown home late last week.
The six-time All-Ireland winner, originally from Tahilla near Sneem, remained in a coma on Tuesday, five days after he suffered serious injuries after falling down the stairs at his Cork city home.
The 58-year-old suffered a number of broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder during the accident but The Kerryman understands that his condition is not thought to be life threatening.
Having made his county senior debut against Tipperary in the 1975 All Ireland championship, Egan captain his county in 1982. He completed his tally of six All-Ireland winning medals as a member of the Kerry team which won the centenary championship of 1984.
Egan's outstanding individual footballing talents were recognised with the awarding of five GAA All Stars Awards in 1975, 1977, 1978, 1980 and 1982.
