Legendary darts presenter Dave Clark is stepping down from his role with Sky Sports after 22 years with the network.
Clark joined Sky Sports News on its launch in 1998 and went on to present televised Professional Darts Corporation tournaments and Premier League Darts.
He has also appeared on Soccer AM, Soccer Saturday and Sky Sports' boxing coverage.
Clark was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2011 but has continued to do what he describes as "the best job in the world".
He announced his decision on Twitter on Sunday evening, writing: "It’s been an AMAZING journey, but now it’s time to bow out of Sky Sports Darts.
"22 years on Sky, nearly 10 years with #Parkinsons. Brilliant memories, brilliant people. Just stopping doing the live darts .. NOT giving up on life. 100% my decision x."
Clark expanded on why he is leaving Sky Sports, saying he would like to call time on his live presenting career while he is "still in control".
"It's been an amazing journey, 22 years performing on Sky Sports, nearly 10 years with a chronic degenerative neurological condition. Quite an innings, doing the best job in the world," he wrote on the network's website.
"When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's a 'specialist' said I'd only be able to present live sport for two or three more years. Nearly a decade after that diagnosis, I can still present live television, on stage, in front of 10,000 people.
"I've decided I want to stop now, still in control, still able to do the job, still able to enjoy it."
Clark still hopes to be involved in broadcasting and continuing to be a flagbearer for raising awareness of Parkinson's.
He added: " I'm hoping to stay involved in broadcasting in some capacity and will continue to raise awareness of Parkinson's and fundraising to find a cure through my chosen charity Parkinson's UK.
"Despite the support of a great team, the last few years haven't been easy. At times it's been extremely stressful presenting whilst having Parkinson's.
"Parkinson's is a one-way street, the day won't be far away when I'd struggle on air. I'm a proud man and have decided that I'd like to go with my dignity intact, rather than continuing until something goes wrong."
