- Liverpool and Scotland legend Graeme Souness follows on from Jurgen Klopp as the latest guest on the Robbie Fowler Podcast. No nonsense on and off the pitch, Graeme lifts the lid on football management today, reveals why he only ever asked one question in seven years at Liverpool and adds another illuminating chapter to his ongoing 'feud' with Manchester United's Paul Pogba.
The Scot also reflects on the biggest low of his career, why he always knew Robbie was destined for the top and gives his verdict on Steven Gerrard's managerial future.
The Robbie Fowler Podcast | In conversation with Graeme Souness | Episode 3 | In partnership with McDonald's UAE.

Mr Souness, what a player, manager and man. I'm a United fan but respect to him. They just don't make men like this any more. Would love to see him back in management. Think he has grown as a person so much. So much knowledge and experience to impart
Great player, shite manager
Has a scouser and a Liverpool fan and Hillsborough survivor i have got over what happened with Graeme souness and the Sun i will always hate Sun newspaper like most Liverpool fans . and l think i can speak for a lot of reds feel the same about Graeme. That he will always be a legend at our club he give us some of the best days of our lives following that all conquering team of the Mighty reds of the 70s and 80s .YNWA
Along with Stevie G he is our finest EVER CM player. Without question. He made mistakes as Liverpool manager ,by his own admission, what gutted me too was the fact that he sold Beardsley (to Everton), Houghton & Staunton (to Villa) ..Loved all 3 of them to bits but he did introduce Macca, Robbie etc... and won us an FA Cup.
@@simonforrest2522 Agree Simon, he got rid of too many players too soon. Those players you mentioned, along with Stevie Nichol, Ronnie Whelan Steve McMahon and Gary Gillespie woukd have been there to guide the younger players.
@@simonforrest2522 Ray and stan were crap tbf. Beardsley wasnt.
@@simonforrest2522 Houghton wwas decent when we signed him always goin forward and taking on players. Neat little passes etc, then he went crap and lost it. Thought he needed to go.
Stan was stan lol. Utility player at best.
29:00 - 32:00 Souness on leaving 42:24 Souness on Stevie G at Rangers
love to hear that from Graeme souness
Cheers mate.
“Imploded”. “Hahahhahahahahahahahhahaha”.
I No Graeme Souness Played For This Great Club Liverpool, But Glasgow Rangers Will Always Be The Team In His Heart, His Boyhood Club Is Glasgow Rangers,
I cannot disagree with you. He did play for the"great" club......and he makes a even greater point. That Celtic and Rangers level playing field are as big a club as anyone. Spot on statement.
I've got all the time in the world for Greame Souness. Proper legend.
My all time Liverpool eleven..Souness is the captain what a leader what a player YNWA
He would be in my all time 11 also Mr klopp is making that 11 harder and harder
Absolutely Souness will be remembered for being one of the best midfielders to ever pull on the Liverpool jersey. Absolute legend
He doesn’t though…
@@shanet5604 eh?
Agree, steel and guile personified!
He has a high opinion of himself
Graeme will always be remembered very fondly for his time at Liverpool, in my opinion he was part of, and captained, our best ever team Respect 😎🤘🇮🇪 YNWA
He will be remembered also for ripping a league winning team ripping up the philosophy and tried to do his own thing which put us 30yrs in the wilderness.
@@kelvinkirby3428 The team was past it !
met Graeme at a dinner few years ago. great man such a great sense of humour and so kind to us fans. We love you and as a RED since 1974 can only say what Robbie said that you are remembered as a legend and yes your management career was tricky at LFC but we know your heart is with the KOP
YNWA
Been a Liverpool fan all my life, 56 now and can safely say Souness was an still is a legend held at the highest regard at LFC, and a legend in British and world football...They just don't make them like Souness anymore.
U Better Believe It
Souness total legend brought so many good memory's RFC . Robbie always wished you pulled on the blue jersey of Glasgow ever since met u on holiday with Alan Smith never say never ciould follow King Gerard love the show keep it up
I remember there was a story that Fowler was going to sign for us and i was buzzing but how much truth was in the story i do not know, im sure he supported the Famous though 😆 #LetsGo55
💙🔴⚪🔵🙌
Robbie Flower Will Be A Coach At Rangers One Day,
Aye that would have been class if Fowler signed for the gers , I mind he played for the gers in Alan mclarens testimonial v Middlesbrough in the late 90s
I remember vividly when he signed for Rangers as player manager. He not only transformed Rangers, he transformed Scottish football. Love Graeme Souness.
Spent crazy amounts of money and transformed Scottish football in a bad way. Remember before he came and we had Aberdeen winning European trophy’s and Dundee Utd in European finals etc. This claim that he made Scottish football better is a bit of a joke tbh
@@dinkydoo9026 if he didn't come in, would Aberdeen have won another European trophy you muppet? Explain your logic.
@@overthewebb who knows? Scottish league was thriving and there was plenty of competition. Rangers spent loads of money that they didn’t really have and went on to 9 in a row to the detriment of the league. Muppet
He used the fact that they qualified for Europe and signed Mo Johnston ! He definitely changed a lot of Scottish football plus Rangers had the money !!
@@overthewebb I don't know how you needed him to explain his logic. Him and David Murray ruined scottish football, and ultimately Glasgow Rangers. His spending, and Walters afterwords made Rangers a different animal, it wasn't even a competition for them to win the league, thats how he ruined it. And the clubs over spending to bring these players in killed it in the end.
Great Player, Great Man and as Honest as they come. From a Hammers fan.
I’m a Hammers fan and I agree, one of the best midfielders I’ve seen
Still remembered as a great player. One of our greatest. Would be in my eleven every day of the week. An out and out winner with talent to match.
Sir Souness of Govan! Was only a wee boy when Graeme arrived at Rangers and winning was all I knew! 👍🏼👍🏼🇬🇧🇬🇧
55!
@paul stewart would have been a sensational player nowadays, modern game would probably see him as world class holding midfielder. Mind you his tackles might have had to be curtailed slightly! 😂😂
@paul stewart Great player and up there for sure, but there are others I think pip him in greatest ever. Billy Bremner, Jim Baxter, and if you look at a modern sense the I guess that includes wingers so he would be up against the likes of Jimmy Johnstone, We was a great player, he was not Jimmy Johnstone or Jim Baxter great though.
U Better Believe It
Greetings from Istanbul. I love this man and what he did at Galatasaray:) an honorary Turk:)
Fuck Galatasaray
Just found the podcast,can’t stop watching these Legends, including you Robbie, for me one of the best sport podcasts. Great work Guys.
Nobody in Liverpool remembers anything that rag prints gaffer to us your a legend 🔥YNWA 🔥
all day long.
Amen to that!
Brilliant interview & Souness put him straight about Rangers with Fowler nodding in agreement .
Two Liverpool greats together. I love the honesty of Souness. A very good player with a nasty streak. I remain a big fan of the player and the man.
It’s sad that Souey perception of what Liverpool fans think of him is negative. Mistakes were made but always remembered as one of our greats to me and most
What a brilliant interview, them stories from Graeme I could listen to all day. Different breed, forget could he play in day and age, these players of this day and age could lace them blokes boots
The only midfielder since Souey that was his equal is Gerrard.
Thanks for that gents. Really loving these stories from football way back. Things we don't hear often and stories we don't read in books. It's gold thanks.
i am a evertonian enjoyed that, i went to school with rob st pats juniors ,toxteth then nugent seniors ,he has done well for himself which is a understatement a lad .only from Liverpool 8
Graeme Souness will always be remembered as a Liverpool FC legend. Look up his hatrick against CSKA Sofia in 81.
UNREAL FOWLER'S GOT A PODCAST! mate full reason im a Liverpool fan! Big love
Brilliant podcast this one. I'm not a Liverpool fan but I do love Liverpool as a city and the people in it. Great to listen to these two lads. Legends of the game but very down to earth.
As a united fan of 44 years I must admit souness was a BEAST.
As a Liverpool fan, I must admit you are a genuine football man.
@@jcronin3155 a I am BROTHER. Got to put your hands up when up

What a man and what a legend !!! 🇬🇧
Gtfo
Souness wasnt bad either
Liverpool Fan here, Graham is up there with the Liverpool Gods, we loved him then and we still love him still. He is a Gem of a man, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If it wasn’t for this man then rangers 9 in a row would never have happened. Absolute legend
Guys, you have to get the audio sorted out when Robbie is outdoor in the wind. Give him a deadcat.
Robbie & Team, great work. Would love to see an episode with Gary McAllister. I know it was the back end of his Career at Liverpool but he was such a great midfielder...very underrated...imagine what he would have been like in his pomp at Liverpool
Gary mc
Please get ally on Robbie he will make you laugh ya nutter and the pod will be loved in Glasgow and Liverpool
McCoist is hilarious tbh
Coisty Will Be Absolute Laugh
A REAL LIVERPOOL GREAT ALWAYS. TRUE SPEAK FROM A LEGEND
Brilliantly insightful. Loving this podcast!
39:19 Pogba observations.
God bless u bro
Absolute legend, part of the one of the greatest club sides in footie history.
Makes me a bit sad to think Souey thinks all Liverpool fans will remember him for that S*n moment. Absolutely not, great player legend of the club, it's was a blip on a monumental LFC career.
One of the last things I think of when I think of Souness.
S*n?
@@ewanharris3126 I never give that so called newspaper it's full title. The S*N
@@garyphillips006 ok
First thing i think of is the birth of Macca and that FA Cup triumph
@@iaincochrane8741 Brave man telling a kid that.
Sir Souness is remembered for grabbing the bill by the horns and getting it done. Great man. Not for anything a newspaper has minipulated. God bless ya boss. WATP
Next up, Robbie Fowler interviews Roy Keane on a speedboat
Great video Guys! always enjoyed listening to Graham Souness talking football' he's a living legend at Ibrox.. and rightly so! He was a major influence on 'not' just Rangers when he became their manager.. he actually dragged the rest of the Scottish football league to achieve higher standards along with Rangers' bcos with his natural drive to always be a winner and getting the Gers to where they rightly belonged (at the top💪) it actually forced the rest of the league to raise their standards on and off the field' in a rapid fashion just trying to stay in (The Famous) Glasgow Rangers slipstream 🛫.... Cheers Gaffer🍾 and God Bless' a true blue.. Graham Souness!
U Better Believe It I Remember As A Boy Saying 2 My Mate, Graeme Souness Is Perfect For Us As Manager, 1986 League Champions,
What the hell was on Robbie’s mind when he decided to do. Podcast in the wind
Banter
The man who started a REAL 9 in a row.
U Better Believe It
Who Jock Stein? Your 9IAR had the worst Celtic side in history. Our 9AIR had maybe the strongest ever Rangers team (Cup Winners' Cup and all).
@@petermackinnon7551 you might be right & you might be wrong, but what we do know is your obsessed with all things Rangers & you won’t see 10 in a row 😂
@@dmac3027 The REAL 9IAR was ours. This was our second less interesting one. We are happy with being first to 9 and first for a CL. Proceed with your 55 argument now.
@@petermackinnon7551 oh my the pain from your post there is glorious ! so you state “ second most interesting one” could I ask you who scored the goal that secured that 2nd nine in a row ? I’ll give you your CL win that was an incredible achievement for a British club 🇬🇧 Hopefully when Rangers win the league the barriers that surround Celtic park have been taken down along with the supportive banners supporting your management & board that the fanbase were quick to put up after your team lost a little ground in the title race. That’s the difference between both sets of fans, one set stay loyal & support the team though the dark times, the other attack players, embarrass themselves with their disgusting behaviour. I look forward to your response.
What a wonderful player, even starting out at Middlesbrough,he was brilliant ran games.UTB.
Just found this channel, my weekend sorted watching these. Robbie is the most natural finisher in the English game ever. As a 42yr old Liverpool fan Fowler has always been my no.1, Robbie if your reading this we met about 8 years ago walking around Disneyland Florida, couldn't believe it. Your were a gent and talked to myself, father-in-law and son for a good while LEGEND
SOUUUNESS !!! Always 💙
If Graham Souness the pundit was asked what he thought about Graham Souness the player, he would simply describe him as a proper player.and he would be 100% right.
Great comment
An amazing great. His main fault in management at LFC was caring too much and wanting too much too soon of himself and others. He’s still brutally too honest to his faults decades on. Thanks for all the great moments and memories Souey!
We bluenose's absolutely adore Graeme Souness. 💙❤️🏴
Wow Souness is nearly 70 and Robbie is nearly 50! They both look younger than me!!! Im glad Ive found this channel some very good interviews 2 big thumbs up from me :)
I honestly think Graeme has become one of if not my favourite people in all football.
I disliked him so much at one time for his management at lfc.
But I was only a kid and also now realise I had the man so wrong.
I’m so pleased he’s got on tv so that we can all see the real man he is🙏🏻
Small thing but I loved the way sourness didn't call him 'Sir Alex' but Fergie
Why?
I did not see Souness play, I only knew him as a manager and I did not used to like him because of that ( I saw him as the reason we fell from grace I was 9-11 years old at the time), but I grew up and educated myself, watched him as an LFC player, and revised my opinion, and now I love Souness. I also realise now, he took it too early, also there were other factors involved that were nothing to do with Souness.
Nothing but love and respect for the man, I wish he could have done better in his management time with us, but what he did as a player (and WHAT A PLAYER!!!!!) wipes out any bad management years in my eyes. Please forgive my childish previous reasoning I knew no better, but I made sure I learned better in the future Thanks for being one of our greatest I think in my lifetime only the likes of Gerrard and maybe Xabi were on the same level. Legend and great man (dude has a heart of gold, integrity and it clearly pains him he could not achieve what he wished at the helm of LFC)
My mum is from the Northwest and was born on Merseyside, but I was born in the south west, and I did not have liverpool fans around me to educate me on the club (my Mum's brothers were all born in Manchester and were all Man u fans, and her father was a Man city fan), so I was ignorant really up until the mid 00's when I went on a mission to learn as much as I could about my club
Graeme his a top man and we the Liverpool fans love him and one of a great Liverpool player
Still my favourite ever midfield player......absolute legend
Loving the pod cast troops, great stuff.
Standing on the Kop even us would wince at some of Graemes tackles but a total dedicated and Liverpool legend
souey used to walk about the park like he owed it my mate said. so i said he fucking did own it
What a man,a true leader takes responsibility,in that,he is second to none. In the souness era you had to be able to take care of yourself and your slighter team mates,he did it all whilst sticking the ball in the net at the same time. I had the moment of my life ,next to my son being born,when i met him at the meet n greet at secc in glasgow a couple o years ago with hately durranty jim white,got to meet him face to face,i was so overcome i lifted him up in a big bear hug,he took it brilliantly in the spirit it was given, love the man,he gave me more pleasure than my own mother growing up.but thats another story.I,m 61 now.❤ Sooooooness,the BEST!!
Scottish dude... I am a "Man U fan". Ugh.
Great podcast though, subbed, Robbie is a great dude.
Probably a Tim as well 😂
The real Hard man of football
Saying it as it is and as he says digging a player out is the reason him and keane are pundits and not managers , the sad way football has softened that a player cant take a bollocking
PS: He's right about Stevie G, Klopp has another 3 years on his contract continuing to build the new LFC, plenty of time for Stevie to come of age as a manager.
Stevie G was a great player, but he’ll never be good enough to manage Liverpool, not now and not ever. He’s got to much about himself going on in his big head. Remember when he went Orange on the Sunbeds ? It’s always been about him. He has to learn to give himself 100% and right now for me, he’s a long long way off.
Brilliant stuff from the Legend that is Graham Souness. Rangers Legend 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Graeme Souness And Walter Smith The Best Mangemeant Team Ever At Glasgow Rangers For Me Both Of Them Were No Nonsense With High Standards,
The other Scottish guy dose well staying in the Back ground that would be hard nice one good comments not to intrusive and graham knew that
Never forget the time Sooey took the head off a Steau Bucherest player for having the audacity to tear his sock!! Every Rangers fan knows what he gave to us. Love him for ever 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sooey 😂😂 away you go ya wet wipe
@@dinkydoo9026 man said"wet wipe" 🙄🤔😱
So true what Souness said there "You only get a job at a football club cos there's problems there).
What would be torture for Graeme Souness in the year 2021?
Probably been made to watch one of those motivational videos on You Tube.

Great interview...
Bill Nicholson told a 15 year old Souness to be like Ray Buncle, a midfielder who sprinted forward while attacking and sprinted back while defending..
Remember Ray Buncle
GERS HERO, SOU'Y! WISH I HAD A COACH LIKE HIM.
I’m am Man United fan - but I always listen to what Graeme says. I “hated” him as a player - which tells you all you need to know about how good he was. He has fought back from numerous setbacks - I respect the man.
If Graeme Souness, wrote a book, solely on his recollections from his time at Spurs, and all the way through to present day, Id buy it, maybe it would be a thousand pages plus, it would be full of honesty and belief on how a player, any player who listened to his elder team mates, and the management, could be a better player, and carry that knowledge on.
The only person I can remember who Graeme couldn't get the better of was Yosser Hughes.
Graeme Souness is one of the Top 5 Liverpool players of all time. Clearly loves the club deeply and regrets the Sun incident. I forgave him a long time ago.
I was 12 when Mr Souness came to Ibrox. Magnificent.
Should have asked him about turning down Eric Cantona and Peter Schmeichel as Liverpool manager.
Yes, i read that in Men in White Suits, in Graemes chapter. I dont know about how likely we could have got Cantona, but Schmeichel actually wrote to Graeme asking for a trial. With him in goal, we would not have given so many gifts to opposing teams.
Didn’t have the pleasure of seeing him for Liverpool too bad I can only watch highlights of his best moments not a full 90mins true lfc legend like King Kenny for sure YNWA
He was awsome Tony, and his influence was massive off the pitch as well as on. Micheal Robinson, has told the story of how Souness was in the dressing room, just before a match in the league cup against Brentford, shouting and bellowing at each player, Brentford were treated as if they were Barcelona, no complacency, every player, they had to be switched on from the kick off until the final whistle.
I was Rangers first ~ Graeme Souness. Rangers till I die!
and his they've got a pet called "Billy" if you hear is Mrs shouting out in the background :)
The best player Liverpool have ever had. The conductor of the orchestra in there finest years
Souness a hero of mine.
Mr Souness, 50 years a QPR supporter the whole football world knows you were one the toughest opponents on a pitch and the very fact many hated playing against you says bundles. You would be in my all time greats team good health 🕊🤘
When Graham says the players were expected to take responsibility, the emphasise is on 'empowering' the players rather than micro managing them and fault finding. Being encouraged to act on your own initiative without fear of penalty, works. Being held responsible for using your initiative, doesn't as it's not conducive in empowering you.
villa fan here good stuff lads keep it up, that was a good listen
This is a amazing podcast! 💯 every episode. Enjoy every single one.. and educational too. And a great laugh too..
This whole Pogba/Souness crap was blown up to ridiculous proportions for media purposes only. Souness, like everybody else, can obviously see the unquestionable talent & ability but we ALL question his attitude. Paul Scholes & Roy Keane have said the exact same thing about Pogba
They are all the same peas in a pod , superb world class midfielders, Roy , Scholesy and Graeme . ⚒
Im not a liverpool or rangers fan, but souness was a legend at both clubs. Great player for liverpool great manager for rangers. Facts.
Apart from Robbie's wind issues, this is the best footy podcast out there!
Brilliant reflection
On how players were managed
I wonder what will be said at Enfield after the loss this weekend
The last years medals in the story is amazing 👍🏽
No one remembers the Sun story. Carra takes the shilling from Murdoch ffs. Souness is remembered as the best LfC captain we have ever had full stop. Heroic player. Tried his best as manager. Great great man and up there with Dalsgish and Rushie as all time legends way above the Spice Boys generation as his medals prove. Obvious that the Spice Boys failed to win titles because they inherited the drinking attitude and being slack in training as Bob admits while MuFC embraced the teetotal style lifestyle and won title after title. Took Houllier and Rafa and the Klopp to finally get LfC to embrace a proper modern approach to training. Loved the talent of Robbie but the effort levels and tackling back and win at all costs was missing. Souey you are a total legend mate #ynwa
I'm a big fan of this wonderful player. I'm a staunch Man U supporter and I'm Scottish. My heroes are Denis Law, Kenny Dalglish, Jimmy Johnstone and Jim Baxter with Graham up there with them.I'd have loved to hear Souness talk about Slim Jim Baxter and Jinky Johnstone !
I was told a story about when Souness became LFC manager. He stopped the players from playing golf due to potential injury.
Fantastic player who was one of my inspirations. I always tried to be aggressive and competitive in midfield. Thought he was going to be perfect as manager of LFC but a lot of things went wrong. Ageing squad. A few big transfers which didn't work out.
souness one of the greats ,rangers legend
U Better Believe It
Talking about the player power thing, a real case to be had for Transfer and Wage Caps.
Rangers And Liverpool Legend Graeme Souness,
Legend at ibrox big respect love the stories from McCoist aswell 💙
1 off the selected Few Greatest Rangers Managers ever Once a Ger always a Ger 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
For me, Souness leaving Liverpool in the wake of our European cup win in 1984, was the first dommino in the clubs eventual decline. To lose such an influential player both on and off the pitch would have both short and long term inplications. I know its easy to say, but i believe that Liverpool would have challenged for the title better than they did that season, and would have put up a better show against Utd in the FA cup semi-final.
Still the best CM I've seen bar none unbelievable will to win fabulous passer of a ball and great vision and skill ( very much overlooked ) when people are describing his qualities because of his Hardman reputation but he was Keane n Gerrard in 1
Goals and Big Goals too I remember his pen in 84 no keeper who's breathed was stopping that
I Ioved his answer about Gerrard at Rangers 🙏
