How Football's ANGRIEST Man Broke Every Rule (And Still Won)

Tinashe, thank you so much for this, I loved every moment of your deep dive into Graeme Souness! Even as a 55 year old New Zealander, I've been a Reds supporter through and through since the early 70s, and Souness was always my favourite player of this or any LFC era, and my favourite player full stop. Yes, he was a hard man who too often veered towards thuggish behaviour, but what a player, watching him boss the midfield no matter which team Liverpool played, the vision, the perfection of his passing, the never say die attitude and fire, his devastating thunderbolt shooting, and he was such an underrated dribbler with the ball at foot. It's easy to forget what a presence he had at his best and mock his punditry, but he'll always be my hero. ❤

Souness was to Liverpool what Roy Keane was to us. Gotta respect the man. Every team had a hard man in those days, some had several. The football was way better. Souness is bang on the money about the dabbing roider. I saw a 37 year old Scholes absolutely school him on running a game after he came out of retirement in 2012.

Souness is one of my favourite Liverpool players from the last 55yrs that I've been supporting the club. And continues to be one of my favourite football pundits. Not because he is right all the time, because he isn't. But because he says what he thinks at all times but can be reflective and appreciate the perceived mistakes he makes as a human being. And that to me is a measure of the man.

Souness was 100% correct about Pogba.
