Uria shot to prominence by producing perfect lip syncs of famous speeches including those of Deputy President William Ruto.

And just like his previous ones, his most recent of him imitating renowned football pundit and commentator Peter Drury went viral.

In the video, Uria had a perfect lip syncs of Drury commentating AS Roma's infamous Champions League comeback against Barcelona back in 2018.

Roma stunned Barcelona 3-0 during the second leg of the quarterfinal clash played at Stadio Olimpico to overturn the La Liga's 4-1 win secured during the reverse tie staged at Camp Nou.

Roma subsequently earned a historic slot in the semis of the European showpiece on goal aggregate, with Greek footballer Kostas Manolas scoring the last goal that sent his side to the last four.

But just more than the historic comeback win, Drury's poetic commentary is what left many football fans awestruck, with many hailing the Englishman as the GOAT of football commentary.

This perhaps informed Uria's decision to recreate the 53-year-old's iconic annotations of that historic match which has since gone viral and even caught the attention of Premier League Productions co-commentator, Jim Beglin.

Beglin is understood to have contacted Uria informing him of a colleague's desire to host him to discuss more about his videos.

Uria took to his Facebook page to share a screenshot of Beglin's message, revealing he may "appear on Premier League Fan Zone" soon.

"Please follow @ianirvingtv He is one of our PLP productions and he wants to contact you about appearing on the Fan Zone show to talk about your videos," Beglin's message read.
