Philip Greene (2 October 1920 – 15 May 2011) was a longstanding Irish sports radio broadcaster and football commentator on RTÉ Radio, as well as being a former Head of Sport at Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ).
He was also a writer, and his work was part of the literature event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics.
[1] Born in the Broadstone in Dublin, Greene came to prominence in the 1940s and gave his first live commentary on Ireland's 1–0 defeat by Argentina at Dalymount Park in 1951.
In a broadcasting career spanning four decades, he earned the title of 'the voice of Irish football'.
Whether true or not, the story is that he reported that "the score is 2-2, in favour of Shamrock Rovers" in a match.
