George Hamilton (commentator)
- George Hamilton (commentator)
George Hamilton is a sports commentator born in Belfast.
He works for Radio Telefís Éireann, the Republic of Ireland radio and television broadcasting company and is a household name in Ireland where his voice and refined commentary style of football are familiar to sports fans.
Hamilton originally trained as a cellist and pianist before beginning work for the BBC, and subsequently RTÉ. As well as commentary work, Hamilton works for Lyric FM (Ireland's classical radio station) on Saturday mornings. For many years he also fronted a popular weekly quiz show on RTÉ, "Know Your Sport", alongside fellow commentator Jimmy Magee. Hamilton's cultured approach to sports commentary has won him admirers, and although his remarks are sometimes scoffed at, he has been a leading voice in Irish sport for almost thirty years.
