He completed a two-year journalism diploma at Napier College in Edinburgh before working for local newspapers, a news agency and then joining The Sun at the age of 21.
He was transferred off The Sun for a spell after he exposed a continued lack of security at Heathrow Airport shortly after the Lockerbie bombing. In his early days at the paper, he was bylined "Pascoe Watson" as his superiors thought the forename George and his double-barrelled surname to be too effete for the red-top"s primarily working-class readership.
However they relented after he went into the Lobby.
