I DON’T KNOW about you, but we here at TheScore.ie consider RTÉ commentator George Hamilton to be a bit of a cult hero.
For years, he has been the voice of RTÉ’s soccer and (at times) rugby coverage, and has covered some of the most iconic moments in Ireland’s sporting history, perfectly encapsulating the nation’s excitement during moments of success (“a nation hold its breath” is the one we all remember), while also encompassing the odd wonderfully zany turn of phrase into his commentary.
With that in mind, below is a slideshow of some of his quirkier lines.
