Return to ITV He returned to ITV in September 1996 as a straight replacement for Alan Parry and his first match back was a UEFA Cup tie between Arsenal F.C. and Borussia Monchengladbach. Although Tyldesley was behind the veteran Brian Moore in the pecking order, it did afford him greater opportunities for live football with the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and Football League matches on offer. He started commentating on major finals, the first being the 1997 League Cup followed by the 1998 Champions League final. After the 1998 World Cup Moore retired and Tyldesley became ITV's senior commentator. Since then, he has commentated on every Champions League final since 1998. He also led ITV's commentating teams at the European Football Championships of 2000 and 2004 and the World Cups of 2002 and 2006.

Criticism Like all ITV commentators, Tyldesley has attracted a number of criticims from fans and television viewers for his appalling and biased style of commentary. This includes his transparent support for Manchester United, his melodramatic style, his accuracy, and his inability, as with most English commentators, to pronounce foreign players' names correctly. Also noted by viewers has been his tendency to reference Manchester United's 1999 Champion's League victory in Barcelona at every possible opportunity - even during games with no ostensible link to United, or even to English football.
