As Graeme Souness sits back on his sofa, the conversation turns to whether you need to have won a European Cup to be a good pundit. “Anyone can get lucky once,” he jokes. He is reminded that it was more than once, though, it was three times in his own career. “Beyond that it’s not luck.”
Those victories at Wembley, Parc des Princes and Stadio Olimpico, plus five league titles, puts Souness in a position of authority when it comes to football broadcasting. However, his 15 years at Sky Sports was defined by what was said, rather than his trophy haul and illustrious playing career.
