Lee Keegan has earned huge praise from viewers who loved his appearance on RTE's The Late Late Show this evening.
The Mayo GAA icon stopped by for a chat with host Ryan Tubridy just one week on from announcing his retirement from intercounty football.
After over a decade at the top of the game, Keegan's retirement brought about plenty of tributes from the likes of Aidan O'Shea and Diarmuid Connolly in the GAA world.

An interesting tidbit from the interview was Keegan's comments about not winning an All-Ireland medal. The Westport man claimed that he feels very little regret, as he gave his all for his county during his playing days.
Keegan was in flying form during tonight's interview and earned plenty of praise from viewers for his candid and honest demeanour.
"Lee Keegan is a class act ! Open and honest, the best of Irish Sports men and women" said one user.
"Lee Keegan is the GOAT.... end of ! ... What a legend," said another.
While another said "Lee Keegan is a gentleman and was a joy to watch. What a credit.
"Lee Keegan, honesty, decency , integrity,some things carry more weight than All Ireland medals" was the thoughts of another Twitter user.
Throughout his chat with Tubridy, the Mayo flier credited his support system and stated his desire to spend more time with his family now that his intercounty career is over.
And of course, the infamous Mayo 'curse' was brought up, something which Keegan said was never a factor.
Two pictures of Keegan were shown during his career. One, showed him in tears after a defeat and another showed him smiling with his daughter after another loss.
The Westport man said that 'perspective' was the reason for his different reactions.
He also revealed that he was looking forward to taking time to further his education now that he has some free time.
Keegan made his debut for Mayo in 2011 and soon became a key player for the Connacht side.
A talisman for his county, Keegan played in six All-Ireland finals. He is commonly regarded as one of the best players to never win a Celtic Cross.
