George Lovejoy

George Lovejoy

George Lovejoy (died February, 2003) was an Australian radio sports commentator who became famous for his commentary broadcasts of Queensland rugby league matches in the 1950s and 60s. He called rugby league for 19 years - 652 games straight - and coined the now famous phrase 'the greatest game of all'.

Nicknamed "Mr Football", Lovejoy was a household name in Queensland in the days before television was widespread. A plaque commemorating his career adorns Suncorp Stadium's Sports Media Hall of Fame.
