Graeme James Souness CBE, is a Scottish former professional football player, manager and television pundit.
A midfielder, Souness achieved his greatest period of success as an integral part of the Liverpool team of the late 1970s and early
1980s, during which he won five First Division titles and three European Cup trophies. He was captain for three seasons at Liverpool
until his departure to Sampdoria in 1984. Souness later became player-manager for Rangers, leading the club to three Scottish titles and four league cups. His final game as a player came in the closing minutes of Rangers' final match of the 1989–90 season, which
was his only appearance of the season.
Souness continued as Rangers coach for a further year before joining Liverpool as manager for the 1991–92 English First
Division season. He went on to have spells at Galatasaray, Southampton, Torino, Benfica, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.
Inducted to the National Football Museum Hall Of Fame as a player in 2007, Souness was presented with his award by Dave Mackay.
Mackay, one of the Hall Of Fame’s inaugural inductees, had been Souness’ boyhood hero, with both midfielders having attended the
same school in Edinburgh. Inducted at the same time as Dennis Bergkamp, Nobby Stiles and Peter Beardsley, Souness claimed the
award would help his son believe his father had “ever played football”.
An era of midfield opponents across Europe will struggle to forget Souness’ impact.
