Martin Tyler was a staple of football commentary before he retired in 2023.

The Chester-born broadcaster was synonymous with Sky Sports, becoming the voice of the channel from 1990 until he finished his career.

What has always been interesting with the former commentator is the criticism he has garnered from some fans for what some have described as bias towards certain clubs.

However, it does not really matter given the fact that his favourite match to commentate on was a Liverpool game from 1996 against Newcastle United.
