The former striker made a lot of admissions, including this one, during an open and enjoyable episode of the Sacked in the Morning podcast.
“I shared the room with Graeme at the 1986 World Cup when Kenny [Dalglish] didn’t go,” said McAvennie.
“Graeme and I got along pretty well, and at one point he asked me to go to the Rangers, which was a wonderful rumor. However, I was unable to go. “My dad goes to games with priests,” I exclaimed.
“I assumed he would show up at Ibrox. so he would believe he could enter.”
According to McAvennie, Souness also volunteered to cover the cost of his attorney during the historic altercation with Chris Woods, Terry Butcher, and Graham Roberts during the 1987 Old Firm match, for which the players were accused of disturbing the peace.
