George Hamilton

The fact that he was christened in the same Belfast church as George Best might suggest that George Hamilton was pre-destined to become the country’s leading TV soccer commentator. Either way, that’s precisely what happened. Anyone with even the vaguest interest in the great Irish male soccer squads of the 90s and 2000’s and the women’s team of the 2020’s, not to mention Champion’s League football, has been guided through countless matches by this most erudite and cultured of broadcasters (and let’s not forget his twice-weekly Lyric FM broadcasts). George will take us through the stellar highlights of his recent memoir The Nation holds its breath.
