The voice of GAA results for so many decades, Seán Óg has passed on. In the days before iphones and twitters he was the only source of the club results every Sunday night. May he rest in peace.

A milestone in GAA history. I remember listening to him when I was so young I was in bed when his results programme was on. The thrill of hearing your own club's result mentioned on the national radio was tremendous for a kid.

Condolences to his family.

An institution. 11 o'clock on a Sunday results aren't the same anymore. RIP

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Loved his mild assured voice, think there was a thread honouring his retirement here in last few years. A great life lived with the GAA.

I met an old man from Kerry in a homeless shelter in London once. He wasn't homeless but he needed the company and he said he kept in touch with home by listening to Sean Og every Sunday evening in the GAA season. The list of clubs was more than just a clatther of sports results.

The most wonderful radio voice and perfect delivery, I didn't listen for the results but to hear Sean Og himself. RIP

RIP Seán Óg - but why was the Longford scores always last each Sunday night back in the 80s before the internets?

Evokes the memories.

RIP

God to good to the man, used to listen to all the results from around the country on a Sunday night. Fighting Cocks, Shemailers, Castleblaney Faughs to name but a few.

Beannacht De Libh.
