Paul Magee dies after short illness

Paul, a father of three children in his early 50s, was a part-time racing broadcaster with RTÉ while also having a prominent role in the world of golf.

He played soccer with Shamrock Rovers, which he joined in 1975. He was also part of an international tenpin bowling team for more than 30 years and served as both captain and manager. He was also a cross-country champion as a young man, but will probably be best remembered in football circles.
