Just Magnificent
Big Edinburgh poof. Wouldn't have lasted five minutes in Glasgow under 13's league in the 60's and 70's
Brilliant stuff. Best story ever when he was with Sampdoria playing against alleged Argentinian hard man Daniel Passarella. During the match Passarella was doing the throat cutting gestures etc. When the final whistle went Souness started walking quicker and quicker towards him. But Passerella seen him and was walking quicker than Souness and broke into a run down the tunnel and locked himself in the dressing room with the Magnificent Bastard banging on the door.
Even Mental Ray and me widny fight him.
No way.
I doubt Brown would have the balls to go within 20 yards of him.And people think Scott Brown is a hard man! Wouldn’t have lasted 2 minutes in an Old Firm game with Souness!
Wouldn't have lasted two minutes in an old firm game with Tommy McLean, never mind SounessAnd people think Scott Brown is a hard man! Wouldn’t have lasted 2 minutes in an Old Firm game with Souness!
Is that the clip at 6.20 standing over him with a clenched fist magnificent.I believe he was signed by Liverpool after their match against Middlesboro when he had Jimmy Case (I think) on the floor and was standing over him shaking his fist. Case was a Liverpool hardman in those days if I recall.
Scott Broon and Souness going head to head in his prime.. Oh myAnd people think Scott Brown is a hard man! Wouldn’t have lasted 2 minutes in an Old Firm game with Souness!
Broon(lady's front bottom)wouldn't go within 20 miles of the Magnificent Bastard.I doubt Brown would have the balls to go within 20 yards of him.
I remember the old firm new year game in 88 I think. Souness ran the midfield that day like I’ve never seen before or since. Was a truly magnificent bastard that dayRoy Aitken still has ‘the fear’ over a real hard man.

Cheers not seen that for about 30 years. Great day
Not having that mate.I love Souness, but to be honest, he was a dirty bastard.
Don't get me wrong, he could play sublime football when he wanted to, but a player who goes out to injure other players is the lowest of the low, something he did many times.

He was a superb football player.
He was and is a winner.
He was as hard/dirty as he needed to be in a time when every unfit journeyman had several chances at putting quality players out of the game.
Being honest, was big souness fan before he came to Rangers. As ive said, dirty as he needed to be at a time when "hard men" got at least one serious assault before a yellow card.Be honest, if he didn't play for / manage us, would your opinion of him be the same as it is now?
As I said, I love Souness, but I can also see that he was a real cūnt when he wanted to be.
Never seen Baxter or Law, but imoWhat a footballer, what an incredible footballer. He had a bit of everything.
His "tackling' probably what youngsters will focus on, but he was a bona fide world class midfielder.
Grit, guile, incredible passer of the ball, shooting, controlling the tempo, leadership, skill.
Dalglish? Law? Baxter?
I'll take The Magnificent Bastard every time. Peerless in our shores.
Roy Keane would have loved to be half the player Graeme Souness was.
Under-appreciated at Anfield, perhaps to do with his managerial stint and The Sun article.
I'm just going to come out and say it, he was a better footballer than Stevie G.
Give us peace! Are you a Celtic fan??I love Souness, but to be honest, he was a dirty bastard.
