Close popoverFootballing legend stranded in Abu Dhabi amid strikes from Iran

Liverpool footballing legend Graeme Souness has revealed he is stuck in Abu Dhabi amid strikes from Iran.

Posting to social media Souness admitted, "You get grumpy, well I do, when you get delayed and stuff at airports but I think we should think of people that maybe at this point might die."

The former Sky Sports presenter's flight has been cancelled and he told fans he'd be checking into a hotel and waiting until it was safe to travel.
