Daily Mail: Legendary commentator Martin Tyler set to return to the gantry

Story from Daily Mail:

Legendary football commentator Martin Tyler is set to make a return to the gantry just four months after leaving Sky Sports.

The veteran broadcaster left after a brilliant 33-year career, becoming known as the voice of Premier League football.

He has since been replaced by Peter Drury, who was formerly working for NBC as part of their broadcasting network of Premier League games to an american audience.

However despite leaving Sky, Tyler made no announcement about fully retiring from commentary, and it has been confirmed he will make a return to the gantry on Monday night.

Tyler will once again spend an evening calling a football game, as he will be in place for Tottenham's home clash with London rivals Fulham.

Tyler will once again have a microphone in his side as he commentates on Ange Postecoglou's side taking on Fulham.

The 78-year-old will be working for Premier League Productions, which provides worldwide feed from English top-flight games.

He is most well known for producing iconic commentary on some of the greatest Premier League, Champions League and World Cup moments in recent footballing history.

Many will know Tyler from the iconic 'Agueroooooooooo' moment when Sergio Aguero smashed home a late winning goal to win Manchester City the title in 2012.

Tyler is now a coach with National League South side Dartford, but was spotted at Tottenham's training ground this week.
