Tyldesley was born in [[Radcliffe, Greater Manchester|Radcliffe]], [[Lancashire]], and was educated at [[Bury Grammar School]], [[Kirkham Grammar School]] and the [[University of Nottingham]]. He obtained an honours degree in Industrial Economics, but always wanted to pursue a career in sports commentating. In June 1975, he began his broadcast career straight from university with [[Radio Trent]] in Nottingham, where he became their regular [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] reporter. In April 1977, he joined [[Radio City (Liverpool)|Radio City]] in Liverpool and remained there for the next twelve years. After succeeding [[Elton Welsby]] as City's sports editor, he covered the successes of [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] and [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] through the late 1970s and 1980s. Tyldesley was on-air at the scene of the [[Heysel Stadium disaster]] in 1985 but did not attend [[Hillsborough disaster|Liverpool's tragic FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough in 1989]]. He was heavily involved in City's coverage of the aftermath of the disaster.

For much of his radio career, Tyldesley had contributed match reports to ITV's ''[[World of Sport (British TV programme)|World of Sport]]'' programme. In 1987, he began to work on ''Sportsweek'', a late-night [[ITV Granada|Granada Television]] sports programme featuring Welsby and Robert McCaffrey. During the next two years, Tyldesley began to split his working time between Radio City and Granada, who he eventually joined full-time in 1989. He became their main football commentator and also worked as a reporter and occasional presenter on their ''Kick Off'' and ''Granada Soccer Night'' programmes. Tyldesley's first television commentary was in August 1989, Liverpool v Manchester City on the opening day of the season. He became ITV's rugby league commentator in the north-west alongside Hull FC coach Brian Smith, and worked with Martin Tyler and Fred Trueman as a cricket commentator on Granada's coverage of Roses matches. Tyldesley's commentaries were now being broadcast on ITV network programmes, and he was chosen to be part of their commentary team at the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] in Italy. From 1989, he also became a regular reporter on ''[[Saint and Greavsie]]''.

He also became ITV's [[rugby league]] commentator in the [[North West England|North West]], alongside [[Hull F.C.]] coach Brian Smith, and worked with [[Martin Tyler]] and [[Fred Trueman]] as a cricket commentator on Granada's coverage of [[Roses rivalry|Roses]] matches.

Tyldesley received an offer to join the BBC's sports department in London in the summer of 1992. BBC's partnership with BSkyB enabled them to obtain highlights rights for the new Premier League in the spring of 1992, and they added Tyldesley to their established commentary team of John Motson, Barry Davies and Tony Gubba. For four years he contributed commentaries, voice-overs and film reports to ''Match of the Day'' and ''Sportsnight'', working at the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994 World Cup]] and the [[UEFA Euro 1996|1996 European Championship]] as a BBC commentator. Because of the pre-eminence of Motson and Davies, he only commentated on 4 live matches in as many years with the BBC and in 1996 he was offered a chance to return to ITV. Tyldesley's final weeks with the BBC were spent commentating on the [[Basketball at the 1996 Summer Olympics|basketball tournaments]] at the [[1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Olympic Games]] in Atlanta.

Tyldesley rejoined ITV in August 1996 as an understudy to [[Brian Moore (commentator)|Brian Moore]],<ref name="telegraph1"/> who he often cites, along with Motson and Reg Gutteridge, as the greatest influences on his commentary career. When Moore retired in 1998 following [[1998 FIFA World Cup Final|that year's World Cup final]], Tyldesley became the network's lead football commentator. During his first season in that role, he commentated alongside Ron Atkinson on all of Manchester United's games in their successful Champions League campaign in addition to their FA Cup final victory in that treble season of 1999. His most famous commentary lines came during the dramatic climax of the [[1999 UEFA Champions League Final|Champions League final of that year]] when he asked, "Can Manchester United score? They always score" moments before their equalizing goal. "Name on the trophy", "Solskjaer has won it" and "Manchester United have reached the Promised Land" are other phrases from his commentary fondly remembered by United fans.<ref>{{cite news|last=Maume|first=Chris|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/sport-on-tv-tyldesleys-silence-proves-he-can-live-with-the-best-1096638.html|title=Tyldesley's silence proves he can live with the best|date=28 May 1999|accessdate=11 January 2018|work=[[The Independent]]}}</ref>
He has commentated on every Champions League final since 1998 for ITV, including dramatic successes for Liverpool and Chelsea as well as Manchester United. Tyldesley has been ITV's lead commentator at each European Championships since 2000 and World Cup since 2002. His regular co-commentators since Atkinson's resignation in 2004 have been [[David Pleat]], [[Jim Beglin]], [[Andy Townsend]], and [[Glenn Hoddle]]. On 27 June 2016, Tyldesley was the ITV commentator for the English national team's shocking 2-1 loss to Iceland in the Round of 16 at the [[UEFA Euro 2016]]. "It's another wretched night for England at a major tournament. It's difficult to think of anything quite as humbling as this defeat, certainly in living memory," said Tyldesley after the final whistle. "This is the most abject failure that I can recall." He admits that football commentary is the only job he has ever really wanted to do since he was a child and regularly volunteers to speak to sports broadcast students at universities and colleges. Tyldesley says his only career disappointments were three unsuccessful interviews for BBC Radio Sport during the 1980s. He has the three rejection letters framed. He says his own personal favourite sports commentators are Pat Summerall and Brian Johnston.{{cn|date=January 2020}}

Clive Tyldesley (born 21 August 1954) is an English television sports broadcaster. He was ITV's senior football commentator from 1998 until 2020. In that role, he led the ITV commentary team at five World Cups and five European Championships and was lead commentator on seventeen UEFA Champions League finals and nine FA Cup finals for ITV.

He currently serves as the lead commentator for CBS/Paramount Plus live UEFA Champions League coverage in the United States.

In 2021, his first book was published by Headline: the semi-autobiographical Not for me, Clive.

Early ITV career[edit]

For much of his radio career, Tyldesley contributed match reports to ITV's World of Sport programme. In 1987, he began to work on Sportsweek, a late-night Granada Television sports programme featuring Elton Welsby and Robert McCaffrey. During the next two years, Tyldesley began to split his working time between Radio City and Granada, the latter of which he eventually joined full-time in 1989. He became Granada's main football commentator and also worked as a reporter and occasional presenter on their Kick Off and Granada Soccer Night programmes. Tyldesley's first television commentary was Manchester City’s famous 5–1 win over Manchester United in September 1989. He also became ITV's rugby league commentator in the North West, alongside Hull F.C. coach Brian Smith, and worked with Martin Tyler and Fred Trueman as a cricket commentator on Granada's coverage of Roses matches. Tyldesley's commentaries were now being broadcast on ITV network programmes, and he was chosen to be part of their commentary team at the 1992 UEFA European Championship in Sweden. From 1989, he also became a regular reporter on Saint and Greavsie.

BBC (1992–1996)[edit]

Tyldesley received an offer to join the BBC's sports department in London in the summer of 1992. BBC's partnership with BSkyB enabled them to obtain highlights rights for the new Premier League in the spring of 1992, and they added Tyldesley to their established commentary team of John Motson, Barry Davies and Tony Gubba. For four years, he contributed commentaries, voice-overs and film reports to Match of the Day and Sportsnight, working at the 1994 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship as a BBC commentator. Because of the pre-eminence of Motson and Davies, he only commentated on four live matches in as many years with the BBC, and in 1996 he was offered a chance to return to ITV. Tyldesley's final weeks with the BBC were spent commentating on the basketball tournaments at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Return to ITV (1996–)[edit]

Tyldesley rejoined ITV in August 1996 as an understudy to Brian Moore.[1] When Moore retired in 1998, following that year's World Cup final, Tyldesley became the network's lead football commentator.

During his first season in that role, he commentated, alongside Ron Atkinson, on all of Manchester United's games in their successful Champions League campaign, in addition to their FA Cup final victory in that treble season of 1999.

Tyldesley commentated on every Champions League final between 1998 and 2015 for ITV. He was ITV's lead commentator at the European Championships from 2000 to 2016 and the World Cup finals between 2002 and 2018. His regular co-commentators, after Atkinson's resignation in 2004, were David Pleat, Jim Beglin, Andy Townsend, Glenn Hoddle and Ally McCoist.

In July 2020, Tyldesley said he was "upset", "baffled" and "annoyed" when ITV promoted Sam Matterface to be senior commentator in his place. This decision sparked public controversy,[citation needed] but later that year, he joined CBS Sports to be their lead commentator for the UEFA Champions League.[2] He is also a regular commentator on Amazon Prime Video's live coverage of the Premier League.

In July 2023, Tyldesley stepped down from his role as a commentator on Talksport.

He has been a patron of the Bobby Moore Bowel Cancer Fund since 2010.

Amongst his other broadcast activities, Tyldesley has been a regular voice on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeway and has been host of the International Electronic Games Conference at the Edinburgh Festival on two occasions.

Video games[edit]

Tyldesley has provided commentary for a number of video games, including the EA Sports FIFA series starting with FIFA 06 and running until FIFA 17.[3][4] From 2011 to 2017 he mostly partnered Andy Townsend (PS2 and PSP (Only FIFA 12 to FIFA 14), PC, PS3 & PS4 - International Friendly (FIFA 12 - FIFA 17), Wii, 3DS, iOS and Android (FIFA 12 - FIFA 15)) who also appeared before in the DS version of FIFA 11, FIFA World Cup 2006, UEFA Champions League 2006–2007, UEFA Euro 2008, 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, UEFA Euro 2012 and 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil and options in commentary for FIFA 12 to FIFA 13. He also provided commentary for Championship Manager 2,[5] the last in the franchise to feature verbal analysis, and the PlayStation video games This is Football[6] and FA Premier League Stars 2001.[7]
