Robbie Lyle

Robbie Lyle, Founder and CEO of Global Fan Network, is a businessman, entrepreneur, and media personality.

He is perhaps best known for being the face of AFTV (previously known as Arsenal Fan TV), which is just one of many Global FanNetwork channels that also includes DR Sports, a channel that takes
on the issues of the day in a multitude of global sports such as Boxing and Formula 1.

Robbie has single handedly built Global Fan Network from scratch. His approach has been to build his channels ‘socially’, in the truest sense
of the word. He has always described, and delivered, his channels as being fan-first, where fans receive a voice in a sports broadcasting
world that is riddled with the dull personalities, outdated opinions, and predictable commentary that Sky Sports and BT Sports charge their high prices for.

Robbie is one of the most prominent black voices in UK sports media and is one of the only black
personalities to own a successful media company in UK sport.
