Richard Keys has shared an emotional farewell message ahead of his final season of covering Premier League football for beIN Sports.
The veteran presenter took to social media before Sunday's final round of Premier League fixtures to reflect on an extraordinary broadcasting career spanning more than three decades.
Keys, who has worked alongside long-time colleague Andy Gray for years, posted a nostalgic message accompanied by a throwback image from the early stages of his television career.
"It's the end of an era," Keys wrote. "Not Spurs or W Ham. K&G host PL football for the last time today. 1992-2026.
"What a ride - 34 years, countless games & goals. We've seen them all."
The 69-year-old has spent the past 13 years living in Doha while fronting football coverage for beIN Sports across the Middle East and North Africa.
However, reports earlier this year claimed both Keys and Gray had been informed their contracts would not be renewed beyond the current campaign.

Gray, 70, is also expected to return to the UK after the pair spent more than a decade rebuilding their careers overseas following their controversial exits from Sky Sports in 2011.
The duo lost their roles after off-air comments about assistant referee Sian Massey-Ellis were leaked.
