Bho Chaol a鈥� Ghearasdain gu sp矛risean sp貌rs thall agus a鈥� bhos, tha an craoladair 脵isdean MacIllinnein a鈥� crochadh a鈥� mhicrophone aige ris an teine 鈥榮 e a鈥� leigeil dheth a dhreuchd 脿s d猫idh d脿 fhichead bliadhna.
Ch貌isinn Hugh Dan, mar as fhe脿rr a dh鈥� aithnichear e, cli霉 mar aon de na guthan as ainmeile ann na craoladh sp貌rs na h-Alba a thug a-steach, ball-coise, rugbaidh agus gu s貌nraichte camanachd.
Cha b鈥� e craoladh sp貌rs a-mh脿in a thug cli霉 is aithne do Hugh Dan ge-ta. Choisinn e PHD bho Oilthigh Obar Dheathain ann an 1998 agus b鈥� e bha an luib na chur Faclair na Parlamaid air d貌igh ann an 2001.
Bha trioblaidean aige na bheatha pearsanta agus proifeasanta a th脿inig gu ceann nuair a dh鈥� fh脿g e Caledonian Mac a鈥� Bhr霉thain ann an 2008. Fhuair e l霉ths air ais na chasan nuair a chaidh 大象传媒 Alba a chur air bhog agus dh鈥� fhosgail an seanail 霉r G脿idhlig saoghail 霉r dha Hugh Dan nuair a chaidh e a chur an teis-mheadhainn an sgioba-aithris sp貌rs.
Tha Hugh Dan air aideachadh nach biodh e air leth dhen a rudan a tha air a choileanadh mur a b鈥� e a bhean, Kathleen. Tha I air a lan beatha a thoirt dha ann an iomadach seadh, gu h-araidh leis nach robh teaghlach aca.
Dh鈥� fhulaing an dithis aca le trioblaidean sl脿inte nuair a th脿inig aillse orra ann an 2022. Bha seo a-measg nan adhbharran a dh鈥� aontaich Hugh Dan a dhreuchd a leigeil dheth agus tha planaichean m貌ra aig an dithis aca san 霉ine ri thighinn leis gu bheil pailteas 霉ine 鈥榮 ainmsir a-nis gu bhith Hugh Dan.
Broadcaster Hugh Dan MacLennan is hanging up his microphone after a 40-year career. Hugh Dan is regarded as one of Scotland鈥檚 most recognisable sport commentators covering football, rugby and shinty.
He鈥檚 not only known for his work as a commentator. Hugh completed a PHD in 1998 and he was heavily involved in launching Faclair na P脿rlamaid in 2001. Soon after the launch of 大象传媒 Alba, Hugh Dan became central to the team of commentators brought on board to cover sport on the new Gaelic channel.
Hugh Dan says much of what he has achieved is thanks to his wife Kathleen. They both had health concerns in 2022 when they were diagnosed with cancer. This was among the reasons Hugh Dan decided to retire and they both have big plans for the future, especially now he has plenty of time on his hands!
