Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler is stepping down ahead of the new football season after 33 years. The 77-year-old has been the voice of football on Sky since the launch of the Premier League in 1992.
In a statement on the Sky Sports website, Tyler said: “In my humble opinion, the huge corporation Sky is today has stemmed from Sky Sports’ innovative and inspired coverage of the Premier League.
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.” READ MORE: Join the FREE Manchester Evening News WhatsApp community Tyler worked for ITV throughout the 1980s as the number two to lead commentator Brian Moore, before joining Sky in 1990.
