Has Alan Parry been dropped? Not heard him on Sky much these days 🌈

He is 72 this year, so I assume has stepped back quite a bit in the past couple of years. He has, however, done at least a couple of the play off games this month, so is still doing a bit of commentary.

He is a youngster compared with Martin Tyler though.

DigitalSpy's long-running commentary threads appear to have recently spawned a website to track this sort of thing. The ICDb shows that Alan Parry has indeed been back on Sky since the restart:

Apparently a few years ago Parry was thinking of retiring, but Sky wanted to keep him, so they compromised and he's now seemingly like John Motson in his last few years on the Beeb - low-profile matches, and not every week.
