    RIP to Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh. He was a legendary sports commentator in Ireland, particularly on radio, who would flit between English and Irish on occasion. Many people would mute the tv to have his radio commentary.
    He could bring you to any game just by his descriptions.
    For several decades of his career, he was also a school teacher.
    Some of his classic commentaries included:
    He’s on the 60, he’s on the 40, he’s on the 20, he’s on the ground.
    Séan Óg O-hAilpín, his father's from Fermanagh,his mother's from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold.
    Teddy McCarthy to Mick McCarthy, no relation, Mick McCarthy back to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation.
    Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now...but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail...I've seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park!
    Colin Corkery on the 45 lets go with the right boot. Its over the bar. This man shouldn’t be playing football. He’s made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man but he couldn’t kick points like Colin Corkery.
    For those of you with little/ no interest or knowledge of traditional Irish sports, instead enjoy his thoughts on making a ham sandwich (to get a feel for the man and his use of language) - search for the Irish Times youtube video starring him.
