Legendary commentator, Martin Tyler will leave Sky Sports ahead of the new season after spearheading the company’s Premier League coverage for over 30 years.
The 77-year-old has commentated on several big games since the 1990s. He was the lead commentator for EA Sports FIFA video game series between 2005 and 2020.
Martin Tyler is popular for his commentary on Manchester City’s first Premier League title triumph. He delivered his famous “Aguerooooooo” line when Sergio Aguero scored the winner against Queen’s Park Rangers to confirm the title.
The veteran could not commentate during the final weeks of the 2022/23 season due to illness, which is why he did not cover the Premier League title celebrations as usual. In reaction to his stellar career at Sky, Tyler said:
It has been a privilege to play a small part in the broadcasting history of the greatest league in the world. Along the way I have worked alongside legions of wonderful professionals in all aspects of the television industry. I thank them all for their support and expertise. It has been an honour to be a member of a very gifted team.”
Tyler has presided over thousands of matches, covering the Champions League, World Cup and European Championship finals.
