He dictated all there play, and he touched the ball 30 plus times in the 1st half. Liverpool was winning European Cups for fun back then. Wilkins was a top player for us back then, he could also play and pass it about . Souness used to hit him hard in the first 5mins and that was Wilkins out the game. More clever than dirty.

A midfield assassin. The majority of his brutal tackles were calculated to cause maximum damage to the opposition team. Younger fans don't realise that was the way it was back then. Every decent team had a player that could tackle like Souness. Every. Single. One. The difference was - Souness was also a world class midfielder. He terrorised Europe for a decade and when he started in midfield against Holland at the 78 world cup he drove Scotland to a famous victory. The amazing thing was hecdifn't get a game v Iran and there's no way we would have drawn that game with Souness on the pitch. I rate Souness above Dalglish as Souness was the engine of Liverpool and Scotland. A true legend.

Liverpool won 4 out of 6 champions leagues in the late 70s and early 80s. Barca didn’t win their 4th champions league trophy until 2011. Inter doesn’t have 4 champions league trophies *today*. The late 70s and early 80s - ie Graeme’s prime - were a very mixed bag for them. They weren’t in the same stratosphere as Liverpool, hamburger sv, vila, forest, etc. Similarly, AC Milan was absolute crap during this era, winning one serie A in 1980 and immediately getting eliminated out of the champions league the next year. They were also relegated to serie B in 1981, the same year Liverpool beat Real Madrid to win the champions league. They were levels below juve and to a lesser extent Roma during this time. Not in the same conversation as Liverpool. Graeme was the right man. And he was on the right team. *The* European giants of his career. Liverpool FC.

What a player .. One of the best
respect for Souness, a very great player in my eyes, a son of the thunder He is
Love Souness great player hard as nails grew up watching him brilliant ❤
Six goals in Europe for us and two hatricks I think.
sort of forgotten just how good he was
Always found Graham such an engaging talker. Ace bloke. Legendary player.
Changed football with every move he made ...what a human !
Legendary
Any club in tne league would have loved him in there team ..
YESSSSSS!
Great show great footballer
Fab player
the best player i Ever SAW against my beloved Everton, ......WHEN OUR MOMENT CAME liverpool got their own way again, and fucked us over, great player shite selfish club, always managed to get their own way..... your welcome to it, all these years later i cannot forgive or forget. ,and to think i had a grudging respect as your club did....ONCE UPON A TIME
the best player i Ever SAW against my beloved Everton" I salute you Sir
@@tonydixon9579 thankyou Tony and apart from Everton and all they mean to me, George was the best player to grace the goodison turf.... Thank you for your comment, stay well and UP THE TOFFEES.
One thing about a lot of these “hard men”was it was very much paradoxical because they could really play because if they were only hard or difficult they would have been a liability to their teams but they were not. They new when to put the boot in & when to strike the ball. They were brilliant.
If Graeme was to get picked for either Barcelona, Bayern, Madrid, Inter Milan or AC Milan, he would be the engine in the team making sure everything is working correctly. That team would be world beaters. Souness is a Scottish Legend
Weren’t Liverpool close to being world betters when Souness played for them. Barca and Real Madrid weren’t all that back then
Eh, didn’t he help Liverpool to be world beaters during his time ?
The game I wished tyey had won the game 1981 brazilian team
Liverpool won 4 out of 6 champions leagues in the late 70s and early 80s. Barca didn’t win their 4th champions league trophy until 2011. Inter doesn’t have 4 champions league trophies *today*. The late 70s and early 80s - ie Graeme’s prime - were a very mixed bag for them. They weren’t in the same stratosphere as Liverpool, hamburger sv, vila, forest, etc. Similarly, AC Milan was absolute crap during this era, winning one serie A in 1980 and immediately getting eliminated out of the champions league the next year. They were also relegated to serie B in 1981, the same year Liverpool beat Real Madrid to win the champions league. They were levels below juve and to a lesser extent Roma during this time. Not in the same conversation as Liverpool. Graeme was the right man. And he was on the right team. *The* European giants of his career. Liverpool FC.
@@gavintuesday4959more than close to being world beaters. They were the best club team in the world. Seriously, they were just astonishing with Souness, Dalglish, Rush etc.
He has that perfect balance of arrogance and modesty we could all learn from
Brilliant. Guys an absolute legend
Top, top player and a genuine person, wore the badge on his sleeve.
Watp what a player
I'm not a Liverpool fan, in fact I hate them. ( who doesn't ) .... But Souness was a brilliant p!ayer. He's also a good human being . I respect him, and that's the highest compliment you can give someone in my opinion
Millions of people love Liverpool 👍 for your information
Legend
Great documentary. Lovely to see the great, mad Bruce Grobbellar again.
Throw matches to line his pockets.......he admitted it on a documentary.
Souness was one of my favourite players when I was growing up and I tried to base my game on his and Bryan Robson's Souey could pass, shoot, tackle, control a game and be ultra competitive......not sure about heading though. For me he didn't get enough credit for his technical ability. He was a strong charismatic leader, who led by example, and a winner. For me a very good footballer!
Undoubtedly one of Scotland’s greatest ever players 🏴❤️
Far worse than the likes of Law and Dalglish, Bremner etc
Not sure how you've come to that equation when he literally ran midfield in some of Liverpool's best ever teams.
@@Eclipse2582 lousy opposition
@@martinh1309 Law and Bremner won just one European Cup between them despite playing in great sides.
@@vaseofflowers4619won the 84 cup for us
He would be in the all time greatest Liverpool team
First name on the teamsheet & captain
Still a legend at sampadoria I heard.
Fearsome player.
What a fantastic player. Was my favourite mid field player.
The man is a Scottish football God
… who never got out of the group stage.
@@theycantallbezodiac what did I misunderstand?
He was a lion on the pitch.
Players today would NEVER be able to cope in these days.
Totally agree soft as anything today's players....
This is legacy. Pogba will never have a football's greatest documentary made on him😂
Again, spot on!
Hilarious! :D Needed saying, though!
Souness will never be in a rap video though......😉
The General ❤❤❤❤
At Boro Souness perhaps faced a guy that was actully harder than him had the scars and medals to prove it too... I miss BIG JACK and characters like him.
Legend……Legend…….Legend
The focus is so often on his aggression and how he would be unable to perform today. I have no doubt this is well wide of the mark given his fitness, mobility, passing range and tactical awareness. He was a superstar then,he would be a superstar now.
World class 👍
He wasn't wrong managing Liverpool, just tried to change too much, too quick.
Awful decision to take the Liverpool job at that time. Dressing room full of (probably opinionated players) at the fag end of their careers.
Absolute Legend. World class and some more....If aliens where to come and take a player back to there planet it would be him.😉
16:56 "all of the SO CALLED best players were in Italy" ...now THAT is confidence, add that to his charisma and sheer talent and you really do have a special player.
I agree with a lot of what is said in other comments,Souness has a reputation for wreckless tackles but he was a great player as well.But Ronnie Whelan was ten times better than any anchorman in England.
And equally nasty
Yep I forget how good Ronnie Whelan was
Won a cup for my team Blackburn Rovers excellent manager 👍
I need Kevin Keegan The King!
B#####d on & off the pitch but unlike Keane Ramos etc could play
Lololol
You're obvs very young and/or don't understand the game. Ramos is an exceptionally talented footballer who suffers from 'red mists' from time to time - medals on the table much? Keane was more limited but his exceptional decision making and central importance to his teams made him one of the very best in the world in his time. That said, Souey was THE best in the world in his position in his time - a truly immense footballer - had everything - could outplay everyone but if you wanted to mix it up....
What a great player he was,hard to believe he brought a wrecking ball to Liverpool and did untold damage in just under 3 years
If someone like Gianluca Vialli said the best midfielder he ever played with or against. Then your comment seems bitter and resentful.
A great player... but a player of his time...I'm afraid in todays game he would be sent off every week he played... which isn't a slight against him it's an indication of just how soppy the game has become... personally I would rather watch Souness a full blooded player with skill vision and could mix it....rather than the bunch of overpaid softies we have today
Souness and McMahon in midfield would eat the likes of Keane, V.Jones, J.Barton, etc. for breakfast...
Force of Nature !
RIP Luca Vialli
Glasgow Celtic could do with him. Especially in Europe as they are an absolute embarrassment there. Souness would sort them out.
Midfield 🐐
He looks younger now with out the moustache
Legend!!
Souness and keane in midfield against the rest
They'd end up fighting each other
Keane isn't half as good
I love utd and respect sounnes ...thats something
Guy at 3:16 scores a worldie without a second thought lol
Well spotted
