Peter Drury is set to take over as Sky Sports' lead football commentator after Martin Tyler's departure. Tyler, who has been with Sky Sports since 1992, announced his decision to step down last month.

  Drury is a highly respected commentator who has worked for a variety of broadcasters, including the BBC, ITV, and BT Sport. He is known for his poetic and evocative commentary, which has earned him a loyal following among football fans.

  In a statement, Drury said he was "massively excited" to be joining Sky Sports. "To be the voice of the Premier League, calling the biggest games week in and week out for the broadcaster that has been there since the beginning, is the opportunity of a lifetime." he said.

  Sky Sports' director of football, Gary Hughes, said Drury was "one of the game's most poetic commentators" and that he would "bring great energy and enthusiasm" to the role.

  Drury's appointment is a significant coup for Sky Sports. Tyler was a hugely popular commentator, and his departure will leave a big void. However, Drury is a worthy successor, and he is sure to bring his unique style to the role.
