Germany vs Denmark is likely to be Tyldesley's final game commentating on British TV
June 28, 2024 8:00 amUpset. Annoyed. Baffled. Those were the words Clive Tyldesley chose to delineate his anger and confusion after being relieved ofsenior football commentator position in 2020. Four years later, they pretty accurately reflect the feelings of thousands about Saturday’s match between Germany and Denmark being among Tyldesley’s last on British television, and certainly his last on ITV.
“It really became a partnership at the last Euros,” Tyldesley said of his relationship with McCoist on a recent episode ofpodcast. “We’ve known each other for years. He’s absolutely everything you’d expect him to be, but he’s also got heavyweight opinions on the game. It’s worth stressing this is not a column about who ITV’s first-choice voice or pairing should be. Replacing Tyldesley with Sam Matterface four years ago was unpopular then and still is now, but Matterface is ever-improving and gradually relaxing into his role.
Now, not only is Ilicic among the three biggest names in Slovenia’s squad having played for Fiorentina and Atalanta, well-publicised mental health issues almost forced him to retire. This was a triumphant moment, one which deserved scripting by Dickens. Instead we got Dixon grousing: “Who? How old? He looks older than me.
Aside from his famously thorough research and light humour, Tyldesley’s voice remains his greatest gift. It now preserves nearly 30 years of nostalgia, generations who grew up subconsciously associating that squealing rasp with the defining moments of their footballing educations, to whom hearing Tyldesley speak now comforts and swaddles.
