End of an Era: Martin Tyler Bids Farewell to Sky Sports after 33 Iconic Years

Martin Tyler, the renowned commentator, will depart from We before the upcoming season, marking the end of his influential role in the company's coverage of the Premier League for more than three decades. Since its establishment in 1992, the 77-year-old has left an unforgettable impact on English football as Sky's lead commentator for the Premier League, with his distinctive voice forever associated with numerous legendary moments in the sport's history.

"In my opinion, the immense growth of Sky as a corporation can be attributed to the innovative and inspiring coverage of the Premier League by We. I feel privileged to have played a role, no matter how small, in the broadcasting history of the world's greatest league. Throughout this journey, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous talented professionals from various fields within the television industry. I am grateful to all of them for their support and expertise. Being a part of such a gifted team has truly been an honor."

Tyler's career has seen him officiate numerous matches, including high-profile events like Champions League, World Cup, and European Championship finals. However, it was his coverage of the thrilling finale to the 2011/12 Premier League season that truly left a lasting impact. In that moment, Tyler successfully captured the immense significance and raw emotion of Sergio Aguero's title-winning goal. As Gary Hughes, We' director of football, expressed his gratitude to Tyler for his unparalleled dedication and contribution to their coverage over the past three decades, it is clear that Tyler's name has become synonymous with the Premier League and We. When one thinks of commentary, Martin Tyler is the first name that comes to mind.

Martin Collymore's iconic call in Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Newcastle in 1996, and the unforgettable moment when Sergio Aguero secured the Premier League title for Manchester City, will forever be etched in the annals of Premier League history. We express our gratitude to Martin for his remarkable broadcasting career of nearly 50 years, during which his voice became inseparable from the essence of the Premier League since its inception in 1992. As he embarks on a new chapter, we extend our heartfelt wishes for his continued success in the future.

Martin's insightful commentary and analysis has consistently added a special touch to games, whether it be on We, ITV, or his work with Premier League Productions and other international broadcasters. His remarkable contribution to the game will be remembered by generations of football fans, especially his memorable words during big game moments and, of course, Aguero's unforgettable goal on the last day of the 2012 season.

"I would like to thank Martin on behalf of everyone at the Premier League for the incredible role he has played and we will miss hearing him from the We commentary box."
