"I just became demoralised and thought that it was probably time for me to go"
Gwynne is the last remaining member of Sky Sports’ ‘old brigade’, following Lanning’s retirement in 2010 and the sad death of Waddell last August.
The decision to hand over the reins to Rod Studd and Wayne Mardle came as a surprise to the veteran commentator, prompting him to end his ‘arrows’ affiliation.
“It is the producers’ decision to place them ahead of me in the commentary stakes,” he explained. “I don’t want to carry on working with a chip on my shoulder.
“It is not a day I look forward to, but I think realistically it has to come.”
