Memory Man

Jimmy Magee whose extraordinary memory for sports trivia has led to his being dubbed the Memory Man has the distinction of being the longest-serving sports commentator in the English-speaking world. He started his career in 1956 the year that Ronnie Delany won the 1 500 metres gold medal at Melbourne. He has covered every Olympic Games since 1972 (the London 2012 games were his eleventh!) and every soccer World Cup since 1974. He achieved worldwide notice in Munich in 1972 when he managed to breach security in the Olympic village to cover the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes. This incredible scoop was picked up by CBS in the United States and then by every television station around the world. Jimmy Magee has been present at the most iconic sporting moments in both world and Irish sport
and gives his unique insight into these major sporting moments. He tells how he played five-a-side football with Gert Muller how he almost came to blows with Nigel Benn and why he thinks Katie Taylor is Ireland's greatest contemporary sportsperson. But what is perhaps the most striking aspect of such an accomplished career is how Jimmy managed to find the strength to keep up his cheerful persona on air as he endured immeasurable sorrow in his personal life. His beloved wife Marie died unexpectedly in 1989 and his son Paul himself a footballer and sports broadcaster tragically lost his battle with motor neurone disease in 2008 at the early age of fifty-one. Full of anecdotes humour and poignancy Memory Man tells all these things and more. This is a frank open and honest book by one of
Ireland's most beloved national treasures.
