The passing of Michael Lyster marks the end of an era in Gaelic games. For more than three decades, he was the calm, authoritative presence at the heart of RTÉ’s coverage, most notably as the face of The Sunday Game.

Michael brought the games into living rooms across Ireland, shaping how generations experienced championship summers. His warmth and understated humour earned the respect of players, pundits, and supporters alike.

Michael Lyster may be gone, but his voice, his presence, and his contribution to the story of Gaelic games will endure.

May he Rest In Peace
