He was consistently rated 10/10 in the Sunday People every week playing for Middlesbrough alongside Bobby Murdoch and Spike Armstrong in the old First Division's best midfield by far. No-one came close to him in the ratings. But nobody took any notice until he signed for Liverpool, at which point he was suddenly proclaimed the best midfielder in Europe. It was the same story with Scotland. By the time he was finally picked for Scotland's wooden spoon game when he orchestrated their hammering of the Dutch in Argentina 78 he'd amassed the sum total of a measly 6 caps. Like at Middlesbrough and Liverpool he was a player to build the team around. You either gave him the ball or he took it, your sock, and the best part of your shin.
Remember the day he came from Sampdoria to Rangers as player manager, I was delighted but didn’t really understand the hype, being an 8 year old. My old boy told me he was a winner, hard as nails who didn’t accept mediocrity. After that, he signs half the England team and Mo Johnston. We then do 9 in a row.

In the opening scene you see this crazy guy planting a giant flag of Galatasaray by the center circle at Fenerbahce's stadium in front of thousands of fans who were extremely pissed off after they lost. He could literally have been killed. I admire his courage.
Souness only became known for playing tough, some better midfielders of his time that come to my mind are Maradona, Zico, Platini, Gullit, Baggio, Matthaus, Scifo, Falcao, Socrates, Rijkaard, Antognoni, Tardelli, Schuster, and Robson but the comment of Joan Ruiz Jacob talked about players in general so if we bring strikers, wingers, and defenders in the conversation he is definitely outside the top 30.
@@Β.Χ-θ6γ Ridiculous to compare him to attacking midfielders and secondary strikers like Rijkaard or Maradona. Souness was a defensive midfielder doing all the dirty work which enables players like that to get up front and shine. You would not pick a midfield full of Rijkaards or Sounesses you would try to find a balance of players with both skillsets.
Souness said he gave Peter Reid a quiet dig in a match, which he thought would keep Reid quiet. The game carried on & few seconds later Souness turned around & saw Reid running after him!
He would not be in the matchday squad considering how many red cards he would be getting, and also, seriously?? after having players like Bergkamp and Henry, disgraceful.

MF DOOM no dominant European force has ever had their main central midfielder as a hooligan who was just a good leader. Sounds dumb You need to play football to win remember? If you never watched him play why are you chatting out your mouth kid?
MF DOOM typical of teenage football fans. Disregard everything in the past just because they never experienced it. How would you feel if in 30 years time Scholes is considered one of the biggest historic frauds just because he hasn’t got many assists? Souness was a complete midfielder. He could pass, score goals, create goals and obviously defend like a brick wall. Also Pogba can’t run rings passed anyone now, what chance has he got against souness??
I keep seeing this statement and it completely misses the point: it was a different era. Had game been reffed the way it is now? There would've been 2 goalkeepers left on the park. Souness was considered hard not for the nasty tackles but because when he was on receiving end of dirty tackles? He could take it and still play. He is one of the strongest players I ever saw. Could he change to modern era? Of course he could. The man could pass as well as anyone in the league when he played & could score goals. He'd have much more freedom to play than he did in his prime with Liverpool. He filled a role, Paisley lined out for him and he did so? About as well as any Captain in European club football ever has.

The guy was NAILS!!
Back then you got knocked over, these days they fall over..
An elegant beast of a player no quarter given, he smashed a future team mate in the great Ray Wilins in the face in the Sco v Eng game, he was a tough soab
Keane and souness .. proper !!
Wasn't Yosser Hughes a spin-off of Souness??
at 0:51 is that Souey versus Liverpool? As that looks like David Fairclough who is watching on
That’s when footy was a contact sport haha.
you could play the dance of the sugar plum fairy over this and it will still be hardcore haha
Sky sports need to do a VAR special, looking back at his tackles
Some nice touches....... but a dirty player
Dirty....jog on he played football when it was still a contact sport, not this pussy crap these cowards play today!!!!
Never sent off for Liverpool in 6 years!
He would captain my team.
Duncan Moore Fouling people on purpose doesn’t make you a tough player
Absolute shithouse
Imagine souness and Roy Keane playing in the same midfield 😳
Mate trust me you would be scared af to play against them 😂 you would piss yourself on the pitch
Is this the guy that criticises Pogba? Guy had no tech, just a hooligan on the field.
The Bizness but managed to captain Liverpool to 5 league titles and 3x European champion. Please you speak with ignorance.
Haashim A
Hooligan in a great team, good leader but had no footballing ability.
MF DOOM no dominant European force has ever had their main central midfielder as a hooligan who was just a good leader. Sounds dumb You need to play football to win remember?
If you never watched him play why are you chatting out your mouth kid?
Haashim A
He wasn’t good let’s be real.
Aimed for the man over the ball
Wouldn’t be allowed to play theses days
Pogba would run rings around him
MF DOOM typical of teenage football fans. Disregard everything in the past just because they never experienced it. How would you feel if in 30 years time Scholes is considered one of the biggest historic frauds just because he hasn’t got many assists?
Souness was a complete midfielder. He could pass, score goals, create goals and obviously defend like a brick wall.
Also Pogba can’t run rings passed anyone now, what chance has he got against souness??
He is more like a gangster than a football player.
He had a very good technique but oh my god the guy was a leg breaker
Real football back then. Proper men
The Roy Keane of his time. A grizzly bear with the first touch of a ballerina.
No roy keane was the graeme souness of his time
Souness would get sent off every other game if he played today lol
I keep seeing this statement and it completely misses the point: it was a different era. Had game been reffed the way it is now? There would've been 2 goalkeepers left on the park. Souness was considered hard not for the nasty tackles but because when he was on receiving end of dirty tackles? He could take it and still play. He is one of the strongest players I ever saw. Could he change to modern era? Of course he could. The man could pass as well as anyone in the league when he played & could score goals. He'd have much more freedom to play than he did in his prime with Liverpool. He filled a role, Paisley lined out for him and he did so? About as well as any Captain in European club football ever has.
