    Left Sky after 33 years! Didn't see that one coming - always be remembered for the Augero moment amongst others.

    I’ll always remember him from Football Special on YTV, back in the 70s

    Weirdly feels like a death when he's not dead. Really sad news. The best there is. His Aguero commentary is the club version of there think it's all over, it is now. They should go and get Clive Tyldesley who shouldn't have lost his number 1 position on ITV to Sam Matterface.

    He's probably going because they expect him to take a pay cut like these who might also be leaving......

    Clive Tyldesley makes me mute the sound.

    Most of the male TV presenters are being removed, because women are cheaper.

    He used to be great but he's sounded bored for years.

    Fantastic commentator over the years and probably a couple of seasons overdue in all fairness. Legend

    When he was an absolute tw@t - never had any time for the Reds. Good riddance.

    ITV promoting that clown Sam bloody Matterface over Tyldesley was the worst decision a broadcaster has made since the BBC let Jimmy Saville film a kids show. He is absolutely awful. Detest his commentary with a passion.

    I genuinely turn the sound off if a game is only available on itv. I’m even glad ch4 have the England qualifiers - and they are hardly great.

    Never rated him.. like Motson. From his YTV days always had a whiney voice.

    Glad I'm not the only one that thinks Matterface is an utter embarrassment. Some of the stuff he comes out with is ridiculous, it's like he doesn't think before he opens his mouth. Really surprised ITV have kept him going.

    Good, cannot stand his commentaries, he waffles on about everything and anything apart from the actual match.

    I had this book as a kid. Had all teams kits / stats /history / contact details etc. One Saturday, with a bit of weather in the air I asked my Dad if he'd ring to see if the game was on (I'd been caught out a couple of weeks earlier and my marathon bus and train trip resulted in me getting to Oakwell to find the game had been called off).
    My Dad rang - can't remember the outcome but the voice on the phone bellowed
    "How did you get this number?"
    "It's in Martin Tyler's book ......." said me Dad.
    "Well this is Alan Clarke, I'll be having words with young Martin"

    :)
