Mícheál always treated me as an equal, but I was always in awe of him.

His last commentary was on an International Rules match 30 October 2010 in Croke Park.

For over 60 years, the people of Ireland pucked every sliotar, kicked every point and scored every goal with him.

Sometimes he described terrible games and made them sound like the most exhilarating match he had ever seen and we believed him every time.

Mícheál presented with a Guinness world record for having the longest career as a live match commentator

He commentated over six decades and left an indelible mark on those who listened to him, knew him and loved him.

To be honest, with Mícheál’s passing, a little bit of us has died with him.

Your voice may not be heard again, Mícheál, but your voice will always be with us. Thank you for being you. Thank you for inspiring us all.

Forever a legend. Forever the great Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.
