Tony Roberts, the voice of Notre Dame football on the radio for 26 years, passed away late last week at the age of 94.
A National Radio Hall of Fame selection and recipient of the College Football Hall of Fame Chris Schenkel Award, Roberts was the play-by-play announcer from 1980 through 2006 for the Fighting Irish football team. While best known for his legendary calls of memorable Notre Dame moments, Roberts 49-year career included covering the Olympics, the British Open, the National Football League and the United States Naval Academy football team.
RIP to an absolute legend.
The great Tony Roberts, our friend and colleague, and for 26 seasons the voice of @NDFootball.
