    Wishing you a speedy recovery DJ, shocked to hear the news and disgusted by some vicious rumours circulating already- no need. My favourite hurler of all time- the greatest in my opinion.. absolute legend. You came through so many battles on the field, no doubt you'll get through this difficult time off the field.

    DJ is a considerably active guy even long after his retirement too which makes it even more frightening. Likes the round of golf as much as he ever did.
    we can only really speculate as to what it is brought it on really at this stage.

    Just want to add my best wishes to a genuine gentleman, hopefully he'll make a full recovery.

    I might add that he has been back playing top class handball for the last few years (won Masters doubles All-Ireland recently) so it wasn't as if he was just vegetating. Must be under huge stress.

    Hope he gets better soon - seems very young to be getting a heart attack, especially for someone who still keeps himself very fit.

    Kilkenny legend DJ Carey is on the mend after health scare yesterday


    today at 8:17 am

    By this stage you’ve probably heard about poor DJ Carey. Yesterday afternoon Twitter went into overdrive as people started reporting that the hurling legend had been rushed into hospital. Scary stuff. The good news is that DJ is now on the mend following his scare.
    So what happened exactly? Well the Irish Daily Mirror reports that DJ was taken by paramedics to St Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny city after he collapse in a Garda Station. Initially it was feared that the five-time All-Ireland winning hurler was suffering from a heart attack, but thankfully, further tests ruled this out and showed that his heart was okay.
    What caused Carey’s turn for the worst? Naturally enough there’s been speculation that mounting pressure in his financial and personal life is taking its toll on the hurler’s health.
    In fact, Carey’s scare comes just days after his former fiancé Sara Newman broke her silence on the pair’s shocking split.
    “I would wish DJ all the best and hope he has a speedy recovery,” said Sarah, speaking last night.
    Sarah recently revealed the extent of the couple’s money problems and explained how it was financial pressure that eventually caused their relationship to break down. She also said that it was DJ who decided to call off their marriage, which was due to take place at Mount Juliet in Kilkenny this July.
    In February of last year, DJ Carey Enterprises, Dublin Janitorial Centre and Alton Ltd, all associated with the hurler went into liquidation with debts of a massive €1.7million. DJ and Sarah were also issued with a court order to pay back a staggering €9.5million to AIB, which was owed for mortgages on three different properties that the couple owned.
    The beginning of Carey’s financial woes began when hundreds of thousands of euro went missing from the accounts of his business DJ Carey Enterprises.
    Last night, a number of GAA stars expressed their get well wishes to DJ on social networking website Twitter.
    “Terrible to hear, let’s hope he is back on his feet soon #legend,” tweeted Bernard Brogan.
    “Terrible news about DJ Carey. Hope for speedy recovery #legend #topplayer,” said Padraic Maher.
    According to reports, the nine-time All-Star was “comfortable” and recovering in Kilkenny last night.

    Connorzee, can you at least amend your post above? The innuendo in the first line is completely untrue.

    look I heard this tripe yesterday too, and by use of common sense decided not the sully a get well soon thread with it.

    officially speaking, the Gardai have stated he collapsed in public offices from a suspected heart attack. I don't believe it is anyones right to comment on any rumour other wise.

    Get well soon DJ,I think The Star could have toned back their coverage of this a bit,I think everyone knows the financial difficulties
    DJ has been going through as it has been well well documented already.

    anything with big red colouring around their title is worth avoiding when it comes to papers.

    the same scum tabloids threatened to run stories of his family breakup the morning before an All Ireland Final so nothing surprises me with them.
