Graeme Souness to leave Sky Sports after ‘magnificent’ 15 years

Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness is to step down after 15 years.

The 69-year-old joined the broadcaster in 2008 after 22 years in football management.

He announced his departure to Sky Sports viewers after Liverpool’s 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday.

He gained a reputation as a straight-talking pundit, who often clashed with fellow studio guests, and admits he “owes a hundred apologies” to those he had offended or said harsh things to during his years on air.

The former Liverpool, Rangers and Scotland midfielder said on Sunday: “I have to say, for me I decided that football management wasn’t for me anymore. I had totally the wrong temperament for it and personality.

“I was given an opportunity to do this and it has been magnificent.

“It has just been the most fantastic time for me.

“I love football and I care for it and I worry about it going forward.

“But in Sky’s hands it’s in safe hands.”
