	Des Lynam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lynam made a brief return to BBC Radio 2 in 1998, presenting the 5-7pm Drivetime show on Fridays only.
		Lynam defected to ITV in 1999, where he presented their flagship football programmes, including coverage of the FA Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
		Des was a master of the (un)prepared witticism, arguably his finest being while presenting the BBC's coverage of the Atlanta Olympic Games: "Going down to the pub is not yet an Olympic sport, but beach volleyball is." (references: [2] [3] [4] [5])

		Desmond Lynam (born September 17, 1942 in Ennis, Ireland) is a presenter on British television and radio.
		Lynam was due to present the World Athletics Championships from Seville later this month before resuming his role as anchorman of BBC Sport's flagship football programme, Match of the Day, from the start of September.
		Although Lynam, 56, claimed he agreed to the move because he felt "a little stale" and in need of a new challenge, he is known to have become disenchanted with the BBC's gradual loss of key sporting rights.

		Some say this is just more sour grapes from the BBC boss, still miffed at losing Lynam and the Premier League highlights to ITV, but Lynam himself is deeply offended after giving 'faultless service' to the BBC for over three decades.
		The comment probably hit the mark at a personal level because beneath the unruffled surface, Lynam is currently experiencing the travails of his second, twenty-nine year Saturn Cycle.
		Des Lynam looks all set to remain the golden boy of sports presenting for a good few years to come.

		ITV sport is so willing to keep on-side with its star football presenter Des Lynam that it is planning to record its rescheduled Premiership highlights show rather than broadcast it live at 10.30pm.
		He was tempted by the opportunity to be the highly-paid anchorman for the midweek live Champions League coverage, while ITV football rights ambitions at the time centred around England and the FA Cup, which would have meant only occasional weekend work.
		However, he was content with the 7pm start and the late-night repeat programme - extended by 15 minutes - was recorded straight after the earlier edition finished to allow Des the quickest possible getaway to Chiswick or his second home in Brighton.
