Tony Blair became "obsessed" with creating a British football league as a way of bringing the UK together, the former prime minister has revealed.
Mr Blair said he believed merging the Scottish and English leagues would strengthen the bonds between the two nations after devolution.
But he said a British national football team would have been a "step too far".
Mr Blair was speaking to BBC Scotland to mark the 20th anniversary of the devolution referendum.
No offence but I hope not, we need politicians we can trust and we are a long way from that at the moment!
None taken buddy, politicians and trust are not words I would use in the same sentence.
Southern, are you a Bliar fan then? If so you are the first I have met in about a decade.
Not a fan. But any Prime Minister would have lead the country to the Iraq war. Just think there are worse individuals out there.
I think it would be good to be honest, i also would like a Great Britain national team rather than England. Always considered myself British, not English.
Yes I think so. A Newcastle fan quickly pointed out that Milburn had stopped playing when he claimed to have watched him.
