"I'm available for hire and haven't retired!"

"There was a bit of fake news a couple of years ago. I still feel the energy to keep on going and I try to master the ageing problems as much as I can. I try to stay fit physically, and watch and talk a lot of football. I do a weekly podcast, The Joy of Football, with Neil Barnett and a very bright, young production team. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. I know I have a body of work behind me and I'm grateful to those who have given me the chance to do it."

"How would I like to be remembered? As someone who gave a right go in whatever he did and a football man who tried and did his best."

Martin Tyler has been a defining voice of Premier League football since joining BSkyB at the competition's start. He called matches from 1974 through 2023 and spent 33 years on the Sky Sports gantry before stepping aside. He remains active and available for hire, hosts a weekly podcast called The Joy of Football, and prioritizes physical fitness while staying closely engaged with the game. He acknowledges ageing but maintains energy and gratitude for his career. He wants to be remembered as someone who gave his best and was a committed football man.
