Jerry Grogan

Jerry Grogan is an Irish stadium announcer known as the voice of Croke Park, the national stadium of Ireland and headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association. His voice is familiar to spectators and to television viewers during broadcasts of Gaelic games, and he sits beside the Hogan Stand tunnel on match days, announcing the arrival of the players and the deaths of GAA figures. A long-time activist in Cumann na mBunscol, he oversaw the mini-games played on match days and led the GAA presentation task force set up when Sean Kelly became president in 2003. He was born in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, lives in Dublin and was a school principal until 2015. He appears as a Gaelic games figure rather than a competitor.
