Marty Morrissey is a commentator with the sports department of Ireland's national broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann. Known to most as Puggface, he is a native of Clare and currently resides in Kildare. The intrepid Morrissey has commentated on many sporting events but his bailiwick is Gaelic Games. Following his native Clare's Munster football final victory in 1992 Morrissey famously remarked live on air that "there won't be a cow milked for a week" in the county. The loquacious Morrisey has a regular column entitled "Ballhop" in the weekly regional newspaper The Clare People. Marty is a regular on the side lines at championship Gaelic Games matches and has gained notoriety for his pronunciation of the word "fabulous" as "fabbalas" as well as his rugged good looks. He is an avid supporter of club teams in his native Clare where he often undertakes fund raising activities. He allegedly auctioned off his underpants for his local club, however there were no takers and Marty had to withdraw the article. However this may be an urban myth (see WHO CAN WE TRUST IF NOT THE INTERNET?)but Morrissey has neither confirmed nor denied the claim. Morrissey has recently denied the claim -

Morrissey had a small acting role in Podge and Rodge's Christmas Celebrity Special (2005). In the programme, he played himself, but as Podge and Rodge's annoying GAA enthusiast cousin. He later appeared as a guest on The Podge and Rodge Show.
