Veteran English football commentator Martin Tyler is hanging up his Sky Sports microphone after more than 30 years of bringing the Premier League to living rooms across the country.

The 77-year-old has described thousands of matches in his career, across the Premier League, Champions League and international tournaments. His “Aguero-o-o-o!!” description of Sergio Aguero’s title-winning goal for Manchester City on the final day of the 2011-12 season remains one of his most memorable moments.

Tyler’s Sky career spanned the history of the Premier League that was launched in 1992, having come through the ranks at ITV for whom he was part of the 1978 World Cup broadcasting team.

Tributes have flooded in from those Tyler commentated on and worked alongside. “Martin is one of the all time legends of the commentary box,” former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said on Twitter. “Aguerooooo is one of the most iconic commentary lines in the history of the game!”
