Met graham at a meet n greet couple of years ago in glasgow,was so overwhelmed,i lifted him up off the ground in a bear hug,he took it completely in the spirit it was given.A true leader takes responsibility and all that comes with that.Back in those days you had to take care of yourself and your slighter teamates.love the man.Soooooooness,simply thee best!¿

[@tomang71]

Great chat Graham. Always a pleasure to listen Souness talk. One of my favourite players ever (and I am Italian). Gave me the best day in football by lifting the European Cup v "them"...

[@darrendouglas3704]

One off the last Old School Midfielders ,Jock Stein said Souness was World Class midfielder Could play ,could score & would tackle fearlessly.Got Aura all greats have Thanks for memories from Rangers fan .

[@susannamarker2582]

Graham Souness is on record as saying that if boys drink enough milk, when they grow up, they'll be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley.

Fuck sake graham the black loafers with no socks and the shaking Stevens stone coloured blue jeans chronic haha

Fashionista?

[@speno_the_goat5802]

Fine player.fine pundit.maniac as a young man

[@michaelhall6246]

I can remember the Jack Charlton Middlesbrough, standing on the Holgate End cheering them on. When Souness was recalling the players, Stuart Boam, Willie Maddren, Frank Spraggon, David Mills, Spike, Jim Platt, Terry Cooper, John Hickton. Remember when he was leaving Boro for Liverpool and there was a number who made that journey after him. Sadly i cannot remember him specifically playing at Ayresome Park but followed his progress with Liverpool. What a player, I remember one tackle against Eastern European Club in European Cup where he slid in and punched the guy in the jaw. When he scored it was the nod of his head and one finger in the air. The way he could completly control a game time and time again, he made Liverpool tick, he was an unbelievable player.

[@howwwwwyyyyy]

Guys name was movilla,souness was remembered for a fallout with Jimmy Case when he was playing for Boro, Craig Johnstone overheard Jack Charlton saying to get rid of the Aussie lad, it's what drove him on to be the best that he could.

sensational banging in goals by Liverpool, player with a 'vision '..

[@imonlytellingthetruth6562]

Graham hunter is the only person I know that can put you to sleep with a simple reply to a question, he goes on and on and on zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. He speaks like it’s only his views that matter

[@pigstrotters4198]

That Scotland back then often didn't qualify for a major tournament with players like Souness, Dalglish, McAllister, St.John, Nicol, Hansen, Bremner, Lennox at one time or another is a mystery to me.

[@hmu05366]

We did regularly qualify back then you muppet

[@mikefraser4513]

To be fair, they only failed to qualify 1966 and 1970. They qualified from 1979 to 1990 including some of those players you mentioned (1994 DNQ). 1998 qualified, but unfortunately they haven't qualified since then, although I think they have a good chance for Qatar. The auld enemy haven't done that better when you consider it the motherland of football. DNQ 1974, 1978 and 1994. They only qualified '66 as hosts and '70 as holders. So I wouldn't call that a good record.

[@andrewpaton2683]

At one time ,only us and brazil had qualified for 5 world cups in a row.

[@DavidMayOnline]

Souness was an Animal, it overshadowed everything he did as a professional footballer. I have no idea how anyone who saw him play could have any respect for him.

[@richardjones3792]

world class player

[@athelstan927]

He was a player of his time.. a highly effective ruthless pro.. What I can't stand is his ongoing talking about himself! We know Graeme.. we know!

[@howwwwwyyyyy]

I'd imagine every person he played with him respected him, anyone who drags the team to win a European cup, like he did in 84 would be more than respected

Nae wonder those wankers at Sky TV have Souness and Keane on as regular pundits . 2 of the best midfield players in the world in the last 40 years .
