I’ve got Graeme Souness ’ number. I mean his modus operandi – not his mobile number.
I know I have because it’s the same one I’m sometimes listed under on the media team sheet. Souey’s got himself a new earner on talkSPORT, where a memorable phrase like calling Celtic the “unacceptable face of Scottish football” is the verbal equivalent of sticking the ball in the net and discussing how it got there at a later date.
I’m uniquely placed to interpret how the broadcasting game works because I’ve been lobbing grenades on the radio for so long it was still called the wireless when I threw the first one. Nearly 40 years of on-air combat tells me Graeme has picked up the tricks of the trade and learned how to fire the scatter gun with commendable speed.
