Conor joined BBC Radio 5 Live in 2002
as a football commentator, and is a regular
fixture in the 5 Live football team.
His first ever commentary was the FA Cup
final in 1997 for Irish national radio. At the
time he was just a reporter, but someone
pulled out on the Thursday before the final
and he got the call, and kept the job after that!
In 1998, he did his first commentary on
national television for TV3 when the Republic
of Ireland played Yugoslavia. He continued to
commentate for the station and also took
over a presenting role until joining 5 Live.
Conor studied at Salford University and has a
post-graduate diploma in Business Studies
from University College, Dublin. He has written
widely on sport for the Irish Press.
He lives in Limerick, Ireland.
