Martin Tyler leaving Sky Sports

End of a big era for Sky Sports, alongside John Motson and (for us anyway) George Hamilton as one of the big voices in soccer commentary.

For me at least, this is my best memory of his commentary.

Good riddance. He should have retired a decade ago. He genuinely came across as listless and bored for far too many matches.

Hopefully they give him a good send off and let him do the first Liverpool game of the season, but it was definitely time for him to finish up. I wouldn’t be expecting the standard of commentary to improve immensely on Sky anyway, as they continue to implement the pantomime coverage.

Presumably there will be a parade on Merseyside?

Won't miss him

He's awful, you couldn't tell if someone passed a ball or scored a goal such was his monotone.

Tyler out Drury in great stuff for the new season ahead.

Very bland, won't miss him.

I do recall him making some comment during a game condemning McLean's Poppy stance, and backing the boo boys, which I thought was a bit ignorant and unprofessional for a commentator
