    Very good documentary.
    Jim is a Role model and an inspiration to a lot of people. He is fighting a big fight now.
    Even though he has been in Australia for so long, he is an Irish Sporting Legend for what he has achieved in his career.

    Keep fighting Jimmy!!!!

    Very moving documentary, inspiring guy!

    He's a mountain of a man and a real fighter, I haven't been as moved by a show on tv in a long time. I hope he manages to catch a break with the treatment.

    Very good documentary. Very emotional and inspirational. Takes one hell of a strong person to go through the things he is in order to recover (drinking your own urine is a bit much). Bit disappointed at the end it didnt give an update of his condition

    Prog just being repeated at the moment. Apt for the day thats in it with his native Dublin having played Tipp at minor (same as his last Football game for Dublin in 84) and beaten Kerry at senior.

    A courageous man Jim Stynes.
