Description
The successful "Talking Balls" series that began with Ewen and Roughy's "Real Football Quiz Book", continues with a third instalment, another CD containing a full 70 minutes of the funniest moments from the Sony Award nominated "Real Football Phone-in". All these clips happened live on air. And, once again, Ewen and Roughy provide brand new and hilarious commentary linking the calls. Scottish football is the national game and the national passion: there's no end to the amount of fierce debate, trainspotter trivia and amusing banter that it provokes in homes, work places and pubs across the country.An unhealthy proportion of it seems to end up on Scotland's top commercial radio station, Real Radio, on Ewen and Roughy's "Football Phone-in". Broadcasting for two hours each day from Monday to Friday, Ewen and Roughy have become the premier presenters in the football phone-in league, provoking debate and laughter across huge swathes of the country. The success of the show has been extraordinary. When the football season winds down, Ewen and Roughy's football quiz helps to fill all those barren hours when there is no football to talk about, and has proved to be enormously popular.

Roughy went to three World Cup finals tournaments with Scotland in an international career that saw him play 53 times for his country - keeping 16 clean sheets in the process. His autobiography My Story: The Rough with the Smooth was published in paperback in June 2007.Ewen Cameron worked in Dubai for 15 years at Radio Star before he moved back to Scotland in 2002 for the launch of Real Radio. As Sports Editor he reported on the sporting issues of the day but from 2004 he became the second half of Ewen and Roughy on the Real Football Phone-In and now often makes the news with his outspoken and no-nonsense opinions on the beautiful game.
