Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh's most memorable lines of commentary

Tributes have poured in for legendary Gaelic games commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, who has died at the age of 93.

President Michael D Higgins said that Ó Muircheartaigh's legacy was that of his "beautiful Irish delivered with a love of its sounds and sense to Gaelic games.

"Indeed, so many matches may in fact be remembered more for his commentary than for the action on the pitch. For Mícheál turned every match into an epic tale, his commentaries capturing like no other the sense of occasion, the atmosphere in the stadium and on the terraces, the ebb and flow of the play and of every movement."

Marty Morrissey hailed "a special man with a special broadcasting talent", adding: "Today Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh died, but the magic of his voice and memories he gave us will mean, in our minds, he will live forever."
