Martin Tyler was the voice of the Premier League for decades before hanging up his microphone in 2023, commentating on countless classic gamesMartin Tyler has revealed that Liverpool's legendary 4-3 victory over Newcastle United in 1996 stands as his favourite match to commentate on. The former commentator served as the Premier League's leading voice in the UK for decades, covering numerous iconic encounters before retiring in 2023.However, none matched a thrilling clash between Liverpool and Newcastle nearly three decades ago, which was decided by Stan Collymore's injury-time winner.

"It was 1996."It was Liverpool four, Newcastle three, which ended with Stan Collymore scoring the winner in added time, and Liverpool, I think Robbie Fowler got two, Stan got two, and Ginola scored for Newcastle. So Stan and I are going up in the lift to start our work, and the lift door opens up at the gantry level."Staring us in the face to come into the lift is Faustino Asprilla, and he goes to Stan without thinking, like he goes, 'You cost me my Premier League winners medal'."They just both burst out laughing.

I thought that it meant that much that an instinctive reaction goes back to that game."For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc. Sign up for one of the Liverpool Echo's free daily and weekly newsletters on Liverpool FC by clicking here.
