Tales from the Gantry is a series of love letters to the game, from legendary commentator Martin Tyler, through his season behind the microphone. Reflecting on a lifetime shaped by the emotions of football, he covers the Premier League season before the 2026 World Cup in the United States. Martin looks back on five decades that took him from ITV in the 1970s to British Satellite Broadcasting, then to Sky Sports, and on to a freelance career that has kept him close to the heart of the game. He recalls 13 World Cups, more than 350 England commentaries, unforgettable Premier League clashes and the people who defined those moments both on and off the pitch. At the same time, this is the story of a lifelong supporter of Woking FC and a man who has lived football at every level, from playing at the University of East Anglia and for Corinthian Casuals to coaching across non league clubs. Warm, honest and full of insight, Tales from the Gantry captures the wonder of the sport through the eyes of one of its most familiar voices.

Martin Tyler is one of football’s most iconic commentators, whose voice has narrated 13 World Cups, more than 350 England games and five decades of the sport’s most memorable moments. A lifelong Woking fan, former player and dedicated non‑league coach, he continues to live and breathe the game. Tales from the Gantry is his personal tribute to a life in football.
