ABC Sport commentator Andrew Moore is recovering in hospital after a heart attack.<\/p>\n

Moore suffered a heart attack and underwent a successful surgery on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He is resting in hospital in Sydney and said he is grateful to his “amazing doctors and nurses”.<\/p>\n

Moore will be replaced by Brett Sprigg for tonight’s NRL grand final rematch between Penrith and Melbourne at Western Sydney Stadium.<\/p>\n

Moore joined the ABC from 2GB in 2015 and has been ABC Sport’s chief rugby league radio caller ever since.<\/p>\n

“Andrew Moore is one of the most respected and loved broadcasters in the country,” ABC Sport content director Tim Verrall said.<\/p>\n

“The ABC Sport team are enormously relieved that our valued colleague is getting the care he needs.<\/p>\n

“We look forward to welcoming him back when he’s recovered and we send our thoughts to Andrew and his family.”<\/p>\n

Sprigg opened Thursday’s broadcast of the Panthers and Melbourne clash with the announcement that Moore had undergone surgery this week.<\/p>\n

“He actually sent us a message, his ABC rugby league colleagues, just this afternoon and he’s a bit knocked around, but in good spirits,” Sprigg said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I know, trust me, how much he hates missing the footy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ABC Sport commentator Andrew Moore is recovering in hospital after a heart attack.
