Cyprian Drury is a football commentator, formerly with ITV Sport as their number two football commentator, a role he had held since joining the network in 1998. A politics graduate from Hull University, Cyprian began his career as a journalist with Hayters sports agency before joining BBC Radio Leeds in 1990 as a football and cricket commentator, presenter and reporter. Three years later, he moved to BBC Network Radio Sport. There, he worked for BBC Radio Five Live on a variety of sports, including golf, tennis, swimming and the University Boat Race. However it was Drury's work on football that made his name. He initially began as one of Five Live's team of reporters on their Saturday Sport On Five programme. However, following the departure of Rob Hawthorne to Sky Sports, Drury stepped up to the roster, and over the next three seasons was a highly regarded member of Five Live's commentary team, a team which included Alan Green, Mike Ingham, and his future ITV colleague Jon Champion. During this time, Drury was highly prolific, commentating on many matches both domestically, and abroad.
