Don't regret it. As a neutral it showed real balls of steel. Has gone down in history as one of those moments never to be forgotten.
I have many Turkish friends that love him for it. Admittedly they are Galatasaray fans.
What do fenerbahce fans think of him today
I know Souness has said he feels a little hard done by that he didn't get more time at Gala as the run of sucess they had under Terihm might have been under him.
Chad
@@gastonthegoat4515 he wouldn’t make it outside the ground if he went fenerbache
@@gastonthegoat4515 they still feel that flag pole in their asses
Grame “the conqueror” Souness. He created the one of the most iconic scenes in the history of Galatasaray - Fenerbahçe rivalry.
and you have to add at a cup final game in their stadium where we won the cup.thats very important haha.
As a Galatasaray fan we still talk about it and give it to the Fener fans. His nickname is Ulubatli Souness. "Ulubatli" meaning flag conqueror as a famous historical mythical figure in turkish history.
I wish they'd show the actual footage of it. The scenes were insane
What happened
th-cam.com/video/arg6pkuLnVk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=UltrasAction
I remember watching this game live lol my dad and two brothers support gala... trust me souness is a legend in turkey forever.... memories lol
@@heturnal He probably blamed Pogba in his head for it
@@rohithraman6488 good one
Galatasaray fans still love him just for this moment. They even gave him a legendary nickname for it...
What's the nickname?
@@jeffstar645 it is "Ulubatlı", it comes from Ulubatlı Hasan, an Ottoman soldier who plented the Turkish flag on top of the Byzantine castles/city walls right after the conquest of İstanbul in 1453.
@@ulasklc2648 wow, i didn't know this. Thank you for sharing this mate. Sending you all the love and best wishes in the world from Leicester, England 😊🦊💙
@@KingDomsKingdom85 thank you man, best regards from İstanbul :)
@@ulasklc2648 can i just say Turkish fans are in my opinion the best in the world. I need to get myself to a game their soon.
This channel is a gold mine.
There is a legendary soldier in Turkish history. That soldier is Ulubatlı Hasan, who planted the Turkish flag on the Byzantine walls at the end of the 53-day siege on May 29, 1453. Graeme Souness deserved this nickname after that glorious day when his planted the flag in fenerbahçe Stadium.I have never seen Ulubatlı Hasan, I have never met Ulubatlı Hasan, I was 5 years old when his planted the Souness flag, as a result, I love Graeme as I love Hasan.
As a GS fan, I'm eternally grateful to Souness for giving the club that unforgettable moment in history.
"All this while Pogba was getting a haircut"
@PoonkAmi just like man utd's transfer business
Congrats on the 2017 humour
Souness is a legend at Galatasaray.We love you forever!
We love you Graeme, you will always be remembered , thank you for the flag incident
It’s been almost 3 decades and I still remember it vividly. Long live Graeme.
“But really what was pogba doing”
Why is Graeme Souness talking bad about Pogba?
I wanna reach 200 subs he just hates him for no reason
@@ibrahimmahmood8821 "for no reason" there are reasons for sure but exaggerates that's the point
This is such a tired joke
@@ibrahimmahmood8821 we all know why you support pogba, 'ibrahim'
As a gala fan, I can say that the fenerbahce players still chasing the oppurtunity to put their flag on our stadium. I remember that one time gala players were guarding the center of the pitch after a defeat at home
We’re gonna win the league this season 🟡🔵
It's also worth to mention how that crazy Fener fan (Rambo) put Fener flag to the Gala stadium and pulled a knife to the Gala players who approached towards the flag hahaha
i just watched it, the crazy fener man needed a knife to scare players and plant a small flag not in the middle of the field, plus it was a small game versus samsunspor. Ulubatli Souness planted a huge flag after a cup victory in the final in the middle of kadikoy and he did it first. incomparable.
He’s laughing about being punched in the face what a geezer 🤣😂
K.C UNDERCOVER MOON its about 30 years earlier so ofc he would have a laugh about it now
He’s old school that’s why, he’s from that era. New school bitches will cry and throw a hissy fit all over social media
@@user-kc3bo9px7u Yes exactly. I dont think he laughed back then when he realized it wasnt a good idea at all. But it made him a legend among GS fans. :)
He’s Scottish it won’t be first time he’s had a bare knuckle lol
“Seemed like a good idea at the time, I blame pogba he was egging me on”
Despite his short period as a manager, Greame is a legend for us Galatasaray fans here in Turkey.
Souness was always so into his thing. He was brave and showed passion and desire and skill. As a player and as a coach. He is a gem!
I study in Turkey these guys don't mess about there football clubs the ultimate sign of disrespect by him it's like planting a Madrid flag in the middle of camp nou your just asking for it 🤣 probably an ultra
1000x worse. El Clasico is nowhere near the same rivalry
@@callummcgregorenthusiast5545 Only rivalries that compare are Celtic v The Rangers, or Boca v River Plate off the top of my head. Even if a supporter doesen't get to you, you'd have to get out the country sooner or later anyway because you could never walk the streets safely again..
celtbhoy1993 hahahahaha you can’t compare boca , river plate to rangers Celtic hahahahahahahhaah delusional jocks
King Rodney you definitely can.
The most toxic derby I've ever seen is blackburn v burnley. And by toxic, I mean the air was so polluted from the mills it could kill you.
That was one the best moment of my life. Thank you great coach. ❤❤
He obviously can't encourage it publicly. But we all know it was brilliant and he deserves immense admiration for it as well as that punch in the face.
As a Galatasaray fan, I still miss Souness-Saunders times. They were both really great.
We admire this guy! Loves from Istanbul!
Don t regret ever please Souness the Conquerer. 40 million Galatasaray fans will love you as a great hero forever.
Great player good football pundit shame he's not playing in today's game he would show half of these fairies how a man with passion and desire to win plays the game
What's he doing in thumbnail 👁️👄👁️
gawk gawk 3000
no
I'm loving this Skysports Retro, it's taking me back to my childhood.
Great personality. We love You ❤😊 Greetings from Türkiye 👌👍
Honestly don't understand why you don't add the dates of these clips.
um you maybe haven't been checking the description of some other videos, they do add dates in some of the clips
@@harrykane_ how about every video
@@anuvette how about no
@@harrykane_ how about yeah
This man has a bronze statue of him in the Istanbul Iconic Arts Museum
You’re legend Graeme, you’re my idol❤, all GALA fans love you ❤❤
In the old Ali Sami Yen ground (in the hospitality lounge) there was a huge picture of that moment
Galatasaray Fan here: Souness is forever Our hero. He is forever one from us. We love Souness forever. He leave Galatasaray because his safety. What a legend!!!
Ha but over there he is an iconic legend for that move ... loved or hated depending on which team's fans ... but iconic no matter what
much RESPECT/LOVE to GRAEME SOuness from a galataray fan
as a Fenerbahce fan I hate souness for doing that, but also respect him as stuff like this makes football. Unfortunately not much raw passion in todays football
thumbnail out of context is dangerous
He would say that it was Pogba
Wow what a coincidence Rangers just played Galatasaray and Greame Souness was on Rangers TV talking about the match and about Galatasaray
You do know that's the point
Sky Sports Retro post videos relating to what is happening 😂
Still seems like a good idea
SOUNESS You are always our legend and you are always in our hearts, we Galatasaray fans love you very much and.
You're like that heroic battle in our braveheart movie we have never forgotten you and we live you and miss you Braveheart ULUBATLI SOUNESS❤💛❤💛 GALATASARAY
never even heard about this incident but definitely looking it up now
Love souness I’m only 18 so never got to see him play but I know the man was a tank in his were lucky to have him As a pundit
I'm a Manc. Hard dirty bastard. But someone who could hurt you on the pitch legally. Cracking shot and bossed the midfield. Major asset to the Scousers
And I'm nearly 30 years older than you :-)
He knew exactly what he was doing with that thumbnail
You've got to ask yourself, just where was Pogba in all of this?
When my boss asks me why I decided to spend the day at alton towers in the company van which has a tracker in it.
We missed you ❤
As a United supporter of a certain vintage, I hated this bloke the way LFC supporters hated Keane, but he was a monster of a player. Dirty, vicious, determined and skillful.
What a channel，remarkable
Great story & back when Goals on Sunday was a good show ☹️
Mr. Souness is a true Gala fan and a Gala hero.
This is the only time I've heard Souness not sounding pissed off or talking about Pogba.....
Ok sky retro u made the thumbnail at that frame nice one lads what’s going on
There are rumors that Graeme has problems walking. I think it has something to do with HIS MASSIVE BALLS OF STEEL!!! Love you!!! #Cimbom
Ok I am a Fenerbahce fan. I watched that game & remember it vividly. Back in those days, fans were proper die heart types. I must say He is lucky that he is alive. What he did was extremely dangerous. Fenerbahce vs GS is not like any other derby in the UK. It’s very serious matter
James McCloy I did watch the game. In fact, at the time, my left arm was broken & had an arm cast on it. In a shopping mall in Istanbul, I bumped into Dean Sounders & he signed the arm cast for me. I am not over 50 but old enough to witness the incident ! The game was played in April 1996. Fenerbahce’s goal scorer was Aykut on the day and it was a super header
@@Flipmode1900 a 9 years old could easily watched the game and that child still only 33 this year.
The thumbnail and the title 😂
Souness❤ and Dean Saunders❤
I love Souness total Rangers legend
Tbh we need more of that in football nowadays. Unfortunately if players or managers did something like that today they will get heavily criticised
Because all that causes is violence and we don't want that In football 😶
Imagine how 2020 Souness would destroy a certain player if he did the same thing lol
Nah pogba would prob just take a selfie with his tongue out the absolute brat
Sort out the intro. The fact it's silent makes me think my speakers have broken, I then turn it up and BOOOOM
Well in Graeme
Galatasaray hero!
This guy is A LEGEND folks u have to have big CAHONES to do what he did hahaha LOVE IT
Ulubatli 💛❤️
What he's not telling you is that the supporter who hit him never ate solid food again..... Nails
Always take the opportunity to troll the competition. Well done.
But could Pogba have done more in that situation?
Souness was a legendary player, achieved more than Pogba has thus far and people forget that
He heard voices from Pogba in his head telling him to do it
the thumbnail looks like he's milking a cow, lol
I had no idea what this incident was but just from the name of the clip I said to myself "Welp, that dude got punched in the face I bet"
Souness's nickname in Turkey is "Ulubatlı". Where does it come from? "Hasan of Ulubat" is the hero who planted the Turkish flag on the walls of Constantinople during the conquest of Istanbul. We love you "Souness from Ulubat".
Pogba could never
O love you Galatasaray......saunesss
It was pogba
This is Galatasaray! WE ARE THE BEST 💛❤️🇹🇷
naughty graeme
Well, Galatasaray fans seemed to enjoy it.
If pogba did what he did i bet he would have something to say
Galatasaray. Best team
But I support fenerbahce.
Idc pogba should have hit that supporter 🤷🏻♂️
Ulubatli Sounes
Classic Souness
Ulubatlı Souness
Would of paid Souness money to do the same thing at Celtic Park with a gigantic Red Hand of Ulster flag now that would of been truly been truly priceless.
Blackburn v celtic in the uefa cup 'men against boys.' Celtic 1 Blackburn 0, Blackburn 0 Celtic 2. Celtic are a better team than what i first thought!
“All Pogba’s fault”
Was it a good idea? No
But damn people will remember you for that
We do remember and love him. In the past weeks, we invited him to our trophy lift which has started right after the last game of the season, against Fenerbahçe. He waved the exact same flag this time on our pitch and was presented with a commemorative plaque.
I remember chelsea played galatasaray in some cup over there in the late 90s. It was like being dropped in to a war zone and the football supporters were like religious fanatics and suicide bombers baying for blood. chelsea bet them 0-4. fuckin gas stuff.
ULUBATLI
Fenerbahçe demolidhed that stadium in 2 years because it was flat and built a new one lol
From Wikipedia: "The iconic image of Souness planting the flag drew comparisons with Turkish hero Ulubatlı Hasan, who was killed as he planted the Ottoman flag at the end of the Siege of Constantinople. This earned Souness the nickname "Ulubatlı Souness"
Nothing incidental about it🤣
1st
First earlyyyy
grow up
But anti-protest now...sound
Bit late on the relevance this time boys. Slightly lower than your usually high standards. We go again
Pls explain why this is relevant now?
Why does it need to be? It’s a retro channel meaning these videos weren’t made for future events...
@@billyjackson8050 i was just wondering if something had happened cus they normally post these when something related happens
Galatasaray played a europa league qualifier against Rangers recently
Ulubatlım beeee
Ulubatlı Souness
