Peter Drury to become new voice of the Premier League after Martin Tyler's exit

The legendary Martin Tyler, 77, had been the lead commentator for Sky Sports since the Premier League began in 1992 becoming one of football's most famous voices and he will now leave the organisation after 33 years of service.

Peter Drury who previously worked at ITV, BBC, and BT Sport will now take over from Tyler and he has revealed he is excited about the opportunity.

"To be working on the best games week in, week out with a broadcaster that has told the Premier League story since the very beginning feels like the opportunity of my career and I can't wait to get started," he said.

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."
