- Eamon Martin Dunphy (born on 3 August 1945) is a controversial Irish media personality, radio and television presenter, author, sports pundit, as well as a former professional football player. He is best known as a soccer analyst on RTÉ's coverage of the UEFA Champions League, for which he has gained widespread popularity among his peers, some of whom regard him as Ireland's best pundit. He is viewed as somewhat of a comedy figure by people in Ireland, with his physique and "dashing mental charisma" often being the target of jokes from outfits such as Après Match, Gift Grub, Nob Nation and Scrap Saturday. However, he does occasionally involve himself in serious issues, such as a 2009 outburst of tears on The Late Late Show over the economy. He is known for coining the term "plank" (although this term was first heard in Liverpool in the early 1980s) and labelling fellow broadcaster and legend of the Kenny Live, Pat Kenny with this. Dunphy has worked for several radio and television stations, including TV3 (for which he has presented a chat show and a game show) and he was the original presenter of The Last Word on Today FM. Between 2004 and 2006, Dunphy presented the breakfast programme on Dublin's local Newstalk 106 radio station (now a national broadcaster). He then transferred himself to RTÉ Radio 1, where he presented a weekly programme, Conversations with Eamon Dunphy until he got bored again and left in 2009. He continues to write a column on football The Star Daily newspaper.
