Most remembered for the 'Aguerrrrrroooooooooo' moment when Man City won the 2021-22 Premier League title in dramatic fashion, Tyler has been the voice of the UK network’s EPL coverage
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 left an indelible mark on English football as Sky's lead Premier League commentator since its inception in 1992, with his voice inextricably linked with some of the most iconic moments in football history.
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."
Tyler has presided over thousands of matches throughout his career, covering Champions League, World Cup and European Championship finals.
But it is his coverage of the breath-taking climax to the 2011-12 season, where he captured the magnitude of Sergio Aguero's dramatic title-winning goal, and the emotion of Manchester City's first Premier League title triumph, which is arguably the most-enduring memory from his illustrious career.
Gary Hughes, Sky Sports' director of football said: "Everyone at Sky Sports would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Martin for his unparalleled contribution and dedication to our coverage over the last 30 years. 'The Voice' will always be synonymous with the Premier League and Sky Sports. When you think of commentary, you think of Martin Tyler.”
"'Collymore closing in' [from Liverpool's 4-3 win over Newcastle in 1996] and 'Aguerrrrrroooooooooo' are two of the greatest moments in Premier League history. We thank him and wish him all the very best for the future."
Richard Masters, Premier League chief executive, said: "Martin has had an incredible broadcasting career, spanning nearly 50 years commentating on football, and his voice has been synonymous with the Premier League since it began in 1992.”
