Drury will be at the heart of Sky Sports' Premier League coverage this season after succeeding Martin Tyler on the gantry.

Many of his introductions have gone viral in recent years, making him one of the most popular commentators in football. One of Drury's most famous introductions was delivered two years ago when Ronaldo re-signed for Man Utd. As the Portuguese superstar walked out at Old Trafford for his second debut, Drury said: "Madeira, Manchester, Madrid, Turin, and Manchester again. "Wreathed in red. Restored to this great gallery of the game. A walking work of art. Vintage. Beyond valuation, beyond forgery or imitation. 18 years since that trembling teenager of touch and tease first tiptoed onto this storied stage. Now in his immaculate maturity. CR7 reunited." Although Drury acknowledges and appreciates his support on social media, he's more interested in the job at hand. He tells Mirror Football: "I'm not on social media. You talk about my social media presence, and I would tell you that I don't have one. "But it's hard not to be aware because people tell me. Honestly, I do my best to shut it all out. That's not to say I'm not grateful that people like some of my work. But if you take notice of that (the praise), you also have to take notice of the nasty side. That, in my job sadly, is inevitable. "I want to remain level-headed, even-tempered. I don't have a particularly thick skin, so criticism when it comes){kind=link}
