3. Jon Champion
Premier League fans will remember Jon Champion as one of the most iconic commentators in the country before he packed his bags for the United States ahead of the ongoing season.
The Yorkshire-born announcer was a regular feature in some of the biggest Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup games throughout his long-spanning career in English football.
Champion has worked with BBC Sport, ITV, Setanta, ESPN, Premier League Productions and many other broadcasting channels, highlighting his immense experience and expertise in the field. His most-loved commentating quality is his tendency to be witty at will and say the right thing at the right time.
He can also be credited with making a dull game better with his eloquent and euphonious intonation. His voice has been music to many Premier League fans’ ears over the decades, and his departure has left a significant void in the English game. The ageing Martin Tyler is also calling on fewer and fewer games, leaving Peter Drury as the only one at the top of his game right now.
The 54-year-old commentator can make a simple Mohamed Salah tap-in sound like it’s a goal for the ages which pretty much sums him up as an elite commentator. However, this does not mean that he exaggerates his commentary but instead he just goes on about it effortlessly.
Champion is a beloved name in households not only in England but across the world, and his fans regularly tune in to the United States’ Major League Soccer to watch him in action as he is now employed as their lead play-by-play commentator. Otherwise, one could simply click on any of his commentary compilations on YouTube and witness the man in all his glory.
