Still the voice of summer Sundays at 80

IT has to be said that in the world of GAA broadcasting the late Michael O’Hehir left behind a distinguished pair of shoes. O’Hehir was a special fragment of our summer Sundays for what seemed like forever.

That voice is threaded through all the memories of the big games from Croke Park when life was simpler and we existed happily without pictures on increasingly larger flatter and brighter screens.

Yes indeed, he left behind a special pair of shoes and they said they would never be filled. But they have been filled.
