The 70-year-old broadcaster, known for his commentary on some of football’s most memorable moments, took to social media to reveal that he is currently receiving treatment in hospital.
Tyldesley, who famously commentated on Liverpool FC’s Champions League victory in 2005 and announced “remember the name, Wayne Rooney” when the Everton FC prodigy scored a stunning goal against Arsenal in 2002, shared a photo from his hospital bed with his 72,500 followers.
He reassured fans that he is on the mend, saying: “Another great NHS experience today. I’m so grateful for the expertise, care and smiles I got today. And I’m fine!! “

Originally from Bury, Tyldesley made his mark as a broadcaster for Radio City in the 1970s. In an exclusive interview with the ECHO at the Labour Party Conference in 2023, the commentator discussed why he feels at home in Merseyside.
He reminisced: “I lived across the water for 15 years. I was made to feel welcome from the day I arrived in April 1977. I was so fortunate to arrive at the time when Liverpool were taking off as the great team in world club football.”
“Only to be challenged in the mid 80s by another Merseyside team. I was the same age as a lot of the players and we became really close friends.”
“It was an era when the relationship between football and its media was very different. We used to travel on the team coach and stay in the team hotel. They were golden days.”
