For over 30 years, Martin Tyler has been the voice of Sky Sports football coverage. However, as he departs from his position as lead commentator for the Premier League games since it started in 1992, a new voice takes over.
Peter Drury brings with him a wealth of experience and an undeniable passion for football commentary.
Since its inception in 1992, Martin Tyler's voice has been synonymous with Sky Sports' coverage of Premier League matches. His iconic phrases have become part and parcel of English football culture - "And it's live", "It's only Ray Parlour!", or even simply " Agueroooo!" when Sergio Aguero scored that last-minute goal to clinch Manchester City’s first-ever Premier League title in 2012.
However, just recently we learned that he is leaving this role at Sky after 33 years. It may be hard to imagine anyone else doing justice to such a prestigious job but there is one person who could fill these shoes – none other than Peter Drury.
Drury has been working as a top-level sports commentator for more than three decades now and possesses an incredible talent which gives rise to some remarkable moments during live broadcasts.
He brings immense energy to his commentaries; whether it’s cricket or boxing or any sport really - anyone listening can't help but feel the intensity behind each word he utters.
Dury has been the voice behind the rise of many broadcasters
His work on BT Sport broadcasting Champions League matches proved instrumental in improving their reputation amongst viewers while his time at ITV was notable too especially during their World Cup coverage where again Drury played an essential role in bringing alive the game through words alone.
Drury has won multiple awards for his work throughout his long career. He has been awarded Football Supporters' Association commentator of the year for three out of four seasons, demonstrating how much he is loved by football fans everywhere.
Besides all this, one thing that sets Drury apart from others in his profession is his ability to paint vivid pictures with words making viewers feel as though they are actually sitting inside a stadium watching the game alongside him - something that Martin Tyler had excelled at in his time too.
While it's certainly hard to imagine anyone replacing Martin Tyler as Sky Sports' lead Premier League commentator after such an illustrious run in this role- Peter Drury seems more than capable of filling those large shoes.
His passion and enthusiasm coupled with remarkable talent make him one of England’s most beloved commentators. With Drury behind the mic starting next season – Sky sports’ coverage looks set to be just as exciting and engaging as ever!
