10 most iconic moments in football commentary

#6 Martin Tyler on Sergio Aguero, 2011-12

I had talked of Faris Awad going absolutely wild after this goal. While his trademark “Ya Rabbah!” and “Mostaheel!” stand out here too, what made his commentary special was his commentary after that. The very fact he was able to articulate properly and convert thoughts into words after witnessing something so stunning, is an achievement in itself. Not many people were able to do that.

And, Martin Tyler certainly wasn’t able to do that.

After witnessing Kun Aguero’s grandstand finish, all that Tyler could do, was memorably call out “Agueroooooooooooo!”. Who could blame him? He was left stunned, Manchester United was left stunned, Queens Park Rangers was left stunned, the world was left stunned. In Tyler’s very own words, “I swear, you’ll never see anything like this ever again”.

The incredible scenes that followed, with Aguero’s wild celebrations, a Joe Hart who could barely stand his ground, and Roberto Mancini’s long sprint down the pitch, showed the importance of what had happened, and what it meant to them.

Tyler’s magnificent one liner after the final whistle, rubbed home the shock and disappointment for all United fans – “Premier League dreams have come true in blue!”
