Legendary Australian sporting broadcaster David Morrow has lost his short battle with brain cancer.

The build-up to tonight’s epic State of Origin decider has been rocked by news of Morrow’s passing. Radio 2GB broke the news of his passing a short time ago. It had been Morrow’s home for the past decade. Ray Hadley announced the sad news, stating, ‘It’s with some sadness and regret I announce that my mate and colleague David Morrow has passed away.’

Morrow, whose career spanned 52 years, became most recognised as the voice of the ABC‘s rugby league coverage for years. He covered eight Olympic Games and six Commonwealth Games, and countless rugby league Grand Finals.

Morrow was diagnosed with brain cancer last summer and stepped down from 2GB’s Continuous Call Team in February. Last week, the NRL fast-tracked the announcement that Morrow would be inducted into the Hall of Fame next month, a decision fully supported by ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys.

2GB has announced its State of Origin broadcast tonight would be dedicated to Morrow. Morrow is survived by wife Christine and daughters Emily and Lucy.
