His description of the goal that won City the title in 2012 will go on his headstone
Martin Tyler was behind the microphone again today for Southampton v Chelsea and it’s a bit of a special day for the Sky Sports commentator.
Tyler was celebrating the 40th anniversary of the very first time he took to a gantry and decribed the action on a football field.
His first game was the clash of Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday in the old Second Division  and today he covered the Saints as they played host to Chelsea at St Mary’s.
He has had some incredible moments over the years and here are just some of our favourites:
Stan’s goal from one of the most famous games ever broadcast on Sky
Martin Tyler took his talents to the Champions LeagueÂ
The most famous moment of Ryan Giggs long career was soundtracked by Tyler
Unforgettable on the pitch and in the commentary box
And the greatest ever Martin Tyler moment
