He has broadcasted live soccer matches fron the national league, european matchs, games played at final tournaments, World and European Championships. "I'm doing this for over 30 years, almost 1700 games."
"I listened soccer matches broadcasted live at radio and Tv in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Mexic, Spain, Portugal, Italy, England, Germany, Egypt and I noticed that their commentators can't match my brodacast of a goal."
Ilie Dobre also published over 45 sport-related books and holds the record for the Most books published by a Radio Sports commentator.
"I wrote in a hurry all the time and I succeeded to publish three or four books each year. I wrote mostly in the evening and during the night, because during the day I was busy with the activity from the radio. I wrote only out of passion, the published books did not bring me much material benefits."
The sports radio journalist and writer Ilie Dobre donated thousands of free books in schools, libraries, and hostels, to simple people both in the country and abroad, to the football fans.
Mr. Ilie Dobre has been selected for inclusion in our Wall of Fame later this year.
