Is there a better storyteller than Mcoist? Not sure there is….Had the pleasure of his company one evening in Houston (I’m not a Rangers fan by the way)…he was infectious, humble, respectful & a lot more…It says a lot that most of the Celtic fans also respect him…Truly a national treasure of a man.
He tells good anecdotes
yes dean saunders
@@ianbentley7276 good shout. DS is a great storyteller, many on here
@@maxfrasier yep
I like the story about him finding gazza in his kitchen nicking his food in the early hours of the morning
Graham Souness still has a presence ! We had a holiday in Portugal and he was in the same hotel , he was low - key and he kinda carried an aura of self assurance. Still a fit fella with legs like treetrunks .
Only ally can tell the stories of rangers no one has the same delivery or patter like him legend
As a Celtic fan, I still can't help enjoying Coisty's stories.
Agreed
100٪
He's a good lad 🍀
Souness was and still is too much of a hard man for 99% of people 💪
Souness and McCoist, absolute legends of the game and I’m a Celtic fan
Mate go back to school
@@poteyes6351 Why should he go back to school???? Hes absolutely correct, those 2 were phenomenal players, and im another Celtic supporter!!!
Snap
@@GWJUK 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@poteyes6351 stfu.im a Tim and when I look back at that team it's only with admiration. Go do one ya nonce
Ally tells a great story top bloke and the best summariser on tv at the moment.
Followed by Souness himself most probably
What a great story shame footballers don't tell us more of these stories that I'm sure happen all the time. Graeme wasn't just a hard man footballer he was a proper midfielder with real world class talent.
I'm not a fan of rangers but ally is a brilliant pundit and story teller. Long may it continue
I remember meeting Graham when I was a wee lad Back in the 80's spent over an hour with him talking about Rangers. The man was an absolute legend and Gentleman. Him and Ally are my 2 favourite players at Rangers of all time. Rangers for life
Souness was the toughest midfielder i ever saw play the game, and jeezo did he enjoy a tackle.
Super Ally, absolute legend as always.
Great video 👍
@John Jensen
I only actually saw Souness play in person though 👍
He was no Chopper Harris or Keane or Vieira. Prob blames Pogba for that and he weren't born 😂
@@glazersout6101
Viera was a great player, different from Souness though, was never a fan of Keane or Man U for that matter, not sure about harris?
@@jamesaitchison9478 I'm a Ulster Man and i love Keano its obvious why you dont lol but I'm a United fan i saw his prime not when he died and went to Spetic
@@glazersout6101
I saw Keane in prime too, he ws a good player, still don't like him though lol.
He was way past his best when he played for Celtic thankfully 🙂
Souness, the greatest Scottish midfielder of the modern era. Winning 3 European Cups is an incredible achievement. A legend in Liverpool, a God in Glasgow.
Nota god in all of Glasgow
@@Therealderry433 in the side that matters he is
A god in Liverpool as well
thug
@@brido8 could be a bit nasty but a great player
Fantastic time for Scottish football. As an Ayr and Aberdeen supporter, I would go to a few Rangers games with my Gers-supporter pal. Loved seeing some of the greats that rolled up at Ibrox.
Souness hard as they came took no prisoners at all ,great player for Liverpool YNWA
Proper men proper attutude proper players proper legends
When he was at my club as Boss of Blackburn he signed Andy Cole and the went on to sign Dwight Yorke aswell to partner him ...anyway in a open training session at Ewood the squad were playing 5 a side and rotating the squad but Yorke was out partying and being late for training etc ..Souness had a word with him on the pitch in front of fans and Yorke upset him about something so then Souness joined in the footy against Yorke team and nearly ended his career with a thumping tackle in front of bemused fans .....Hardman indeed .......
Top manager for Blackburn should have stayed longer
Yorke was a loafer for us... just a shame Matt Jansen had his accident he and Andy Cole were a great partnership
That strip souness is wearing was my 1st ever Rangers strip when I was 8 years old I felt like a God wearing it I couldn't believe I got it because a lot of families back then were way worse off for money back then so you can imagine how I felt when I opened that on Xmas morning 😃😍🥰
❤🤍💙
Back in the days when a kit would be worn for 2,3 seasons before being changed. I remember also that the full kit would come in an Umbro box. I will never forget being 6,7 and getting the Liverpool home kit. Kings of Europe at the time and me being super happy!
same here. my first gers top too.
I bought a remake of it last week off eBay and it’s just as good as the original I’m from Cardiff but have supported rangers since I was 11 from 1984
My first gers strip when I was primary 1 and wondering how other boys in school were wearing this blue top(rangers top) ,i totally relate to that excitement of getting a rangers strip back then,the older u get its just another day eh.I think that strip will always be my favourite.Also every summer holidays before Murray Park I would go to the bellahouston park next to me and watch them train.U wouldn't get that now with the money in the game,even seen them running on red Ash at the track too which wouldn't happen now as there's to much money and injuries involved. great days.
@@km-dj7wr well said bro those were the days tho I'd go back in time in a min if I could 👍 watp 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Souness and mccoist great players sooooooooouunessssss..
Super Ally, Rangers Legend
Ally and tommy burns the best in my memory’s
Super Ally! Love hearing from him.
Proved in any country he went to he was a class act, best midfielder I ever watched.
Souness was hard as nails.
I remember Souness at Ayresome Park, saw him for about 4 seasons. Brilliant Boro team during that era.
The loudest , fullest, Deadliest Kop end of any ground in the UK. Probably the 🌍.
The Famous. Holgate End.
Used to call Ally the judge during the Souness era..because he spent so much time on the bench…lol
😂
Ally McCoist was a hell of a good player and great storyteller.
@Stevie Wiz Ten hail Mary's for you.
McCoist was so good Souness played Mo Johnston and Mark Hateley and kept McCoist on the bench.
@@jixuscrixus1967 3 world class strikers while you Tarriers had Wayne Biggins and Gerry Creaney 💩 💩
@@09weenicAnd then your club died Rangers 1872-2012 RIP.
“You cannot pass on that which is undefinable, this is a new Rangers,” Donald Findlay QC
@@09weenic “Rangers FC as we know them are dead. It’s all over. They are about to shut down for ever…They’ll slip into liquidation within the next couple of weeks with a new company emerging but 140 years of history, triumph and tears, will have ended… No matter how Charles Green attempts to dress it up, a newco equals a new club. When the CVA was thrown out Rangers as we know them died.” James Traynor, Daily Record
Souness what a legend 💥👊🏻
As a Englishman huge respect to amazing hero’s of Scottish footy.
Watch the vid or look at the pic of Souey leading Liverpool out in the 84 European cup final , an absolute warrior.
Rangers under Souness did pre-season training at Jordanhill College. I and my colleagues witnessed their version of the 'no holds barred' version of tackling that Mr McCoist relates here.
I have no idea how those blokes avoided serious injuries such as broken legs nor career-ending cruciate damage.
Souness was the epitome of gallus. Jock Stein (and some lesser mortals) recognised his 'class'. Others also called him 'that magnificent Bast*rd'.
Absolutely hilarious! Leeds United and all football fan! :-)
I was at his debut at Hibs. Unbelievable. He was sent off.The Hibs end went nuts.
Still remember that like yesterday too.
Great days. Footballers were men back then.
@@Keviin1977 Definitely.
A car got turned upside down on the wee bridge we had to cross over after the game. Was a proper mental 1.
Souness was probably the best midfielder in the world for about 2 years at the start of the 80s - probably top of the tree in the UK hard tackling leaders in the UK game in the past 40 years - 3 = Robson, 2 = Keane and Nr1 = Souness- what a player.
Held his own against the at peak Maradona in Italy in the mid 80s as well.
Maradona said souey and robbo were the top mids
Keane don't think Keane wouldn't have lasted 5 mins against sounrss or Grahame Roberts real men no .want to be bullies
Keane was a man of his time.. he would never have achieved what he achieved if he'd played 10 yrs earlier!! Not a chance..
@@stewartbalmer1515 you wouldn't have heard a peep from little Keane. He'd have hidden.
The best.
Brilliant!!!!
I liked him in Brookside as well
🤣🤣🤣
Born and bred Mancunian, United fan, Catholic lad, nothing but respect for Rangers and great lads like Ally, one love.
Celtic 🤝 United. Manchester United will be back where they belong soon 🏆
He was spotted in the Rooftop Bar of the Rex Hotel in Saigon in 1996 talking to some Turkish people. It wasn't the hiding-place he or they thought it was. What a great player he was, and I wish he had been playing for my country. Up The Irish!
Must have been on a budget holiday if he was at the rooftop bar in the Rex.
Yeah up em.
That's brilliant
Super Ally! Great pundit too.
He knew how to drop an atom bomb in Glasgow by signing Maurice Johnstone......
Rember when he came to rangers as a kid in the stand brought up on the terracese
Ally and Jim Beglin are the 2 world class co-comms broadcasters IMO
Souness was a Top Geez
Ally McCoist is THE best assistant commentator out there. I’ve no idea why he isn’t used more….
It's great to see the Souness withering stare when some of the others in the studio are talking bollocks. And I doubt it would be possible to be depressed in the presence of McCoist - he should be available on the NHS.
Souness, best British midfielder of that period! Could do everything, great passer, score goals and hard as nails!
He was so good alongside McDermott it’s great they are good friends.
Mcoist, Durrant, Ian Ferguson were running riot in the Glasgow nightclubs, at that time, with Souness in the hunt for them.....then along the line...the bold Gazza makes an appearance years later, it was a fantastic time at Glasgow Rangers...Still is...but then it was rocking.
When men were men. Souey was also a world class player. YNWA.
He definitely was but i saw him bottle it against Uraguans in 1986 World Cup.. and to be fair to very underrated Steve McMahon.. after Souness nearly ripped his calf off McMahon at Anfield against Aston Villa, McMahon took Souness on and got the better of him until SM was sent off.. Souness was a brilliant General but a dirty player who would come from behind and happily cripple you.. YNWA
When men were men?
@@mattbeevers1132 yes now they are women, except the new ones arriving in dinghies, they might take some persuasion
Souness great midfielder in best Liverpool team ever. Dalgleish, rush,Hansen,lawrenson, etc etc
Dalglish
@@jixuscrixus1967 sorry! If it was anybody else I wouldn't apologise but Dalglish was one of the best ever.👍
@@MB-zm8lc Dalglish is one of the best players I’ve ever seen; I’ve paid to watch him play for Celtic, Liverpool and Scotland. I love how Liverpool is now his home, he’s a legend.
@@jixuscrixus1967 Absolutely the Scottish George Best👍😆
@Vincent Hambleton : Ronnie Whelan had it all. Everything. Vision, commitment, passion… he could pass long or short. He could tackle. He scored goals. He was a leader on the field of battle.
This fella had the lot the second best Scottish player ever and one of the greatest midfielder ever I wouldn’t argue with Him he’ll never YNWA Top man Top Class
90s football was a special time, players had grown up (70s/80s) when it was still about the football and players had started earning good money but not stupid money, therefore all the footballers of the 90s truly loved the game as well as being the first generation that earned big money.
Ally I was at Easter Road when sourness was playing his first game for rangers an he got sent of he was dreadful an the hibees won 2_1 it was a welcome to scotish football
Am a celtic man love ally spoke to him year ago gentlemen, fact
Lots of folk talkin about Souness’s first game at Hibs. No one remembers or mentions McCoist coming up behind a hibs Centre half and punched him square in the face! 😂😂😂
lol Colin West got booked for it too 😂😂😂
I'll bet the Jammy hoor was offside too!! Super Sally. He scored some goals right enough. Hated him at the time. As a teenager supporting Dundee United I dreaded McCoist. Regularly the worst player on the park. Then he'd score with 5 minutes to go!!
When football was football ⚽️
Love Souness,what a legend.
Dirty hun
wish football was still like this
BRILLIANT, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT 😂😂😂
Best midfield player I've seen in British football. I'm a Liverpool fan and watched him from start to finish . I've seen them all from 1970.
brilliant
Class
I never liked him when he was player and manager, but now he is a pundit he appears to be a real nice guy.
Brilliant
In twenty years, the players playing today will only be able to talk about the time they sent a tweet or beat someone at Fortnite or Fifa.
Souness would be worth a fortune in today’s game
Souness would be sent off 9 times each match if he played now
Yes, £90-95m easy
He was brilliant as a player and yes was dirty but had talent and was a great leader
You'd want him in your team, and hate him in any other team. He was a talented thug.
Totally agree
Fenerbache fans love him
i see what you did there
Fenerbastards are genocidalists too !
Watched him play for Spurs, in a FA
Cup youth game against B'ham City
at St Andrews, they reckon he had showdown talks with Bill Nicholson
he said I either play or I'm off, but
Alan Mullery played in that position ,
the rest is history, could of been another Dave Mackay , can't pay him a higher compliment, great player.
COYS
Suffered home sickness as well
Souness joined the English in those training games cos he knew he was in a higher standard of violent company, miles more violent than the other Scottish players with the English exception of Ray wilkins who was a true gentleman
I do wonder if he wanted to be on the same side as Graham Roberts!
His story about Gazza is the one to listen to!
Totally agree with Craig
He was good up front
That rangers kit is wicked
Souness and Bobby Charlton can't get better that them in the world in there erea
Brilliant , pmsl from a welshman
Watch Souness sitting next to a woman commentator, his face says it all. Priceless.
love souness
Yeah me 2. Apart from when scotland play england and then he becomes so anti english!
Aye and me too😆..
Souness picked his battles carefully.
Cracking tale. 🤣
Souey!
His favourite word is clearly
Souness had a very difficult time controlling McCoist and Durrant, he tried dropping and fining them but in the end class always comes through and both lads delivered for Rangers over and over and Souness knew that
There’s no school like the old school... and souness was the headmaster.
Brilliant respect 😄..now if morelos was under souness..he be gone A. Not good enough..B..Not clever enough..C..his lazy attuide woundnt be accepted .D Training fitness. How football has changed ..!.. Never forget what souness brought to Rangers..only true supporters will understand.🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved when The Gaffer came to Ibrox . What a great time to be a Gers fan.
Souness was without doubt a talented and hard working player but also cynical.
Cynic isn’t that what an idealist calls a realist?
@@machimasuokudasai8261 - Possibly in the theoretical scenario of them entering a pub together.
Quite often he had his reasons to be cynical . Are you cynical at times😂😂😂
Listened to this live the other week when he was on with Laudrup . The commentator had to pull the plug because too many listeners were ringing up complaining any having to listen to stories about Rangers 🤷♂️😔!!!!!!
It's all about the Rangers
Can never imagine Roy Keane going in strong on Souness.
No…but he ran away from an old tea lady 😂😂😂..,Bobo Balde would’ve rattled his ear in two seconds…souness would have ran a mile from Balde
@@First-fill if only Bobo could have had the chance :-)
@@First-fill Absolute BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Football's very own Begbie.
I liked Rangers as a kid, before they became a hyper nationalist toxic team, and Souness was my hero as a kid, but it is my belief that Souness ruined Scottish football for decades by bringing in English 'talent' at the expense of home grown kids. He kicked off an 'arms race' amongst other clubs that left a generation of Scottish youth on the sidelines
Fantastic story.if that happened today.there would be prison sentences
"Thats exactly what im looking for"!! Souness was cut from a different cloth, imagine him running about today in amongst these pathetic diving overpaid manicured flower boys! Dont think he would have ever finished a game.
Souness was a great player but he was a thug when he didnt need to be. His attitude as a manager was stuck in the past as well. Still a Gers legend though.
Souness one of the best players ever at LFC.. A very average manager.. really he was out of his depth at LFC.. YNWA
Laurence, he wasn't an average manager at all. He managed in some of the top leagues of Europe. Average managers manage in the lower championship and div 1 and don't generally win anything in their careers. He just tried to change things too quickly at Liverpool and later on in his career footballers were whimps who didn't like being shouted at.
@@lengravy semantics.. and he didn't manage in some of the best leagues in europe.. and he wasnt successful there either.. Rangers he did well and the Scottish league was not as dominated by The Olde Firm as now.. so his achievement there was stand out.. Other than that he was mediocre..
He had to do it bcos 2 foreigners rule was brought in. Liverpool had Grobbelaar, Molby, whelan, Rush, Staunton, Hysen, Saunders, Nicol , Houghton etc. So had to sell Saunders, Houghton and Staunton to Villa and brought in Stewart, Thomas, James, Wright, Ruddock, Clough, Jones, etc..all English. Houghton was a big loss as he was player of the year for Liverpool in previous season. Too many new players didn’t settle well so bad results. But then youngsters came through, Fowler, Mcmanaman, Redknapp.
@moons4768 Wow, I never knew that.. you learn something everyday! Mind-blowing..
Alan rough stayed at his goal coz he had been booked previously Coisty and didn’t wanna risk getting sent off
Sourness was a dirty barstool , but demanded respect or he'd snap your leg pmsl
Sourness one of the best holding midfielders ever.
'gers did 3 in a row not 9!!
Never, ever took a backward step.
Souness = Begbie
