The news came like a pocket of blue sky on a cloudy day. Amid the sound, fury and self-aggrandisement that increasingly consumes football, it has been announced that Saint and Greavsie is back.
ITV will screen six compilation episodes of their best bits on ITV4 this summer, available as catch-up on ITVX.
Judicious editing will doubtless be needed because not everyone will take Greavsie's discussion of Scottish goalkeepers, Hamilton Academical, referees or the Swedish Viking hat that he wore on the last episode in the way they were intended in the 1980s. There is more sensitivity now.
