I won’t be a wild Rover at Blackburn, says ‘bad boy’ Bellamy

CRAIG Bellamy has left Newcastle with a heavy heart but vowing to rip off the bad boy label stuck to him by Graeme Souness.

Bellamy purposely avoided mentioning Souness by name as he analysed the reasons behind his £5 million move to Blackburn.

But there is no doubt the fiery Welshman feels his career will benefit from the guidance of former international team-mate Mark Hughes as opposed to the all-out conflict he experienced in his last days at St James’ Park.
