RTÉ's iconic commentator George Hamilton is in Moscow ahead of Manchester United's clash with CSKA in the group stages of the Champions League, and he's been doing a bit of sight-seeing.
One thing you can expect from every match that George commentates is a little known fact or tidbit about whatever city or country he is in, or something about the referee's background. Well today he has been having a wonderful cultural tour of moscow, and his twitter page has turned into a guide to Russia's cosmopolitan capital, all under the umbrella of #rtesoccer.
Join George as he takes us on a magic carpet ride around a beautiful city:

Just a thought ... is there anything in the fact that the international dialling code for Russia is 007? #rtesoccer pic.twitter.com/qA3BQj6i80

Delightful.
You have to love George Hamilton. Unfortunately for him, there's also some football to cover:
