Growling around the Liverpool midfield as they took on all comers throughout Europe, Souness developed into a total legend and an icon of those times. Whether you are a Liverpool fan or not (I am definitely not) you had to admire his sheer determination and never say die attitude. Combining fearsome tackling and great long range shooting he epitomised the term 'engine room' and all the time he did it sporting the bushiest top lip wardrobe you had ever seen.
When I think about it, there is also a tinge of sadness too as he represents a great (and sadly lost) era of Scottish footballers who ruled Europe. They just don't seem to make them like that any more. Darren Fletcher or Graeme Souness? No offence Darren but I'd have the Yosser Hughes lookalike any day of the week....
Cheers,
Col.
