Clive Tyldesley is a football commentator of some repute, and with good reason. He’s bloody good at it, and when a voice like his is invited into our homes so many times it can become difficult to distinguish it from the concept of home itself.
A Tyldesley commentary is the nation’s pipe and slippers.
Of course, the social media age has given public figures an opportunity to bring a little more of their personality to the party and Tyldesley’s warmth has been matched by his preparation skills. Now, the commentators match notes that the nerds among us cooed over are being printed, framed and priced between £15 and £40.
Commentary Charts already has a selection of historic matches available in Clive form, from Everton’s 1985 UEFA European Cup Winners’ Cup final against FC Bayern to the most recent UEFA Champions League final between Liverpool and some cannon fodder.
