Graeme James Souness (born 6 May 1953 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former professional football player and manager. He was the captain of the successful Liverpool team of the early 1980s who later returned to the club as manager.
"Souey" is currently employed as a television analyst on Ireland's RTÉ, having been dismissed as manager of the English Premier League side Newcastle United on 2 February 2006. He also appears regularly as a pundit on Sky Sports.
As of January 2007, Souness has been reported by the Daily Mirror to be heading a £20million consortium to take over Wolverhampton Wanderers, however this has been denied by the club's directors.

[edit] Playing career
Souness was raised in the run down area of Edinburgh called Saughton Mains, this may have had a bearing on the way Souness played, he was a tough-tackling hardman with a take no prisoners attitude, he also took that attitude into management with him infamously meeting, the then 'bad boy,' Craig Bellamy head on eventually showing him the door at St James' Park.
One of the most committed players of his generation, Souness won five League Championships, three European Cups and four League Cups during seven eventful seasons at Anfield.
He started his career as an apprentice at Tottenham Hotspur under Bill Nicholson, he then signed professional forms as a 15 year-old in 1968, his lack of first team opportunities got to Souness and he grew impatient at his lack of chances, even though he was still only a teenager, he infamously told Nicholson that he thought he was the best player at the club and should be in the first team.
During the summer of 1972, the nineteen-year-old Souness played in the North American Soccer League for the Montreal Olympique. He appeared in 10 of his team’s 14 games, and was named in the league’s All-Star team for that season.
Back in England, Souness had played just once for Spurs prior to a £30,000 move to Middlesbrough in 1972 where he became a much-admired and feared, hard-as-nails midfielder who led a strong side over five seasons. His debut came on 6 January 1973 in the 2-1 league defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage, whilst Souness scored his first goal for his new club on 11 December 1973 in the 3-0 league victory over Preston North End at Ayresome Park.
Souness' first campaign on Teeside wasn't one to remember, although Boro finished fourth they were two places and 14 points short of promotion with the team not really playing up to their full potential. In May 1973, just after retiring from playing, Jack Charlton was appointed manager and during the following season he got the side fired up and with Souness dominating the engine room they realised that potential and gained promotion as champions of the Second Division a massive 15 points clear of second placed Luton Town. On a personal note, Souey hit a Hat-trick in Boro's final home fixture of the season on 20 April 1974, Souness wasn't the only scorer as Boro tore into the visitors Sheffield Wednesday who were eventually thrashed 8-0!
He won his first cap for Scotland on 30 October 1974 in a 3-0 friendly victory over East Germany at Hampden Park.
Souness earned himself a comical nickname after he infamously went awol, with a 'female friend,' during Middlesbrough's 1977 pre-season tour of Hong Kong, the nickname he got was 'Hong Kong Souey!'
After winning their first European Cup in 1977, Liverpool decided to seek reinforcements for defending their crown, as well as the League title they'd also just won, and three Scottish players in their 20s were all purchased by manager Bob Paisley over the next six months.
First came Alan Hansen who cost, a bargain, £110,000 from Partick Thistle, then Kenny Dalglish for the, then, record fee of £440,000 from Celtic, and then finally Souness, who cost, a Boro record fee, £350,000 on 10 January 1978. These three would supply a superb spine in the side for seven glory-filled campaigns to come.
Souness' departure from Boro was an acrimonious one, during his final home appearance in a Boro shirt the once loyal fans turned on Souey and hurled abuse at him throughout the game, Souness had the last say in the matter, however, as he left the pitch for the last time he turned and gave his abusers the two fingered V sign, proving that Souness wouldn't take any nonsense from anybody.
Souey made his Liverpool bow in a 1-0 league victory over West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on 14 January 1978, David Johnson made it a winning start for the Scot with the only goal coming after just 10 minutes. He bagged his first goal for the club by scoring the Reds first goal, via a thumping volley just inside the area, in the 39th minute of the 3-1 win over bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield on 25 February 1978, Ray Kennedy (49th) and Jimmy Case (84th) completed the rout. Souness' stunning strike was voted as the Liverpool's goal of the season by their supporters for the 1977-78 season.
Souness settled in at Anfield quickly as Liverpool stoutly defended their European crown. He didn't feature in their European campaign until the semi-final, but was instrumental in the final at Wembley when, in the 65th minute, his delicate pass set up Dalglish for the only goal of the game against FC Bruges.
That summer, Souness was selected by Ally McLeod for Scotland's squad for the World Cup in Argentina. He had only won six caps by this stage and injury robbed him of a place in Scotland's first two group games against Peru and Iran.
With a defeat and a draw in his absence, his return was crucial as Scotland chased a victory by three goals or more in their final group match against the Netherlands, Souness' return gave the Scot's that bit of steel and guile they were missing in the midfield but ultimately the 3-2 victory they earned wouldn't be enough.
The following year Souness picked up his first League title medal as Liverpool coasted to victory and then retained it with equal aplomb in 1980. In 1981, Liverpool lost their League title to Aston Villa but won their first League Cup and their third European Cup with a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid; Souness scored a hat-trick in the quarter-final against CSKA Sofia.
Paisley decided to move the captaincy that summer and, much to incumbent Phil Thompson's disappointment, he lost the armband to Souness, who duly lifted two trophies the following summer as Liverpool regained the League championship and retained the League Cup. Souness went to the 1982 World Cup in Spain with Scotland and played in all three group games - versus New Zealand, Brazil and the USSR. He scored his first international goal 2 minutes from the end of the game against the USSR, which took place at the Estadio La Rosaleda in Malaga on 22 June, but, again, Scotland failed to progress.
Also in 1982, Souness turned his hand to acting when he played a cameo role, as himself, in an episode of Liverpudlian drama series Boys From The Blackstuff on the BBC. Team-mate Sammy Lee also appeared in the Alan Bleasdale drama, they were in a club when the character Yosser Hughes played by actor Bernard Hill went and sat by them staring at Souness, he then, from nowhere, came out the line "you look like me!" It was rather ironic that Souness should have appeared in a drama series that sharply exposed the ravages of Thatcher's Britain: for he has since expressed decidedly right-wing views and even rang up John Major after the 1993 general election to congratulate him on his victory!
The following year, back in the role he knew best, Liverpool, again, won the League championship and League Cup but Souness relinquished his right as captain to lift the League Cup at Wembley after the 2-1 win over Manchester United, instead insisting that Paisley collected the trophy in his retirement season.
In 1984, Souness lifted three trophies as Liverpool retained the League title and won the League Cup against fierce Merseyside rivals Everton A goalless first game was followed by a 1-0 win in the replay, with Souness hitting the only goal with a fabulous long-range strike. The European Cup was regained after a penalty shoot-out win over AS Roma before Souness, who had publicly expressed his wish to play abroad, was sold to Unione Calcio Sampdoria SpA.
His Liverpool career ended after 358 appearances and 56 goals.
Souness was captain for Scotland in a tremendous win over England on 25 May 1985, winning 1-0 with the goal coming in the 68th minute from Richard Gough. [1]
Souness stayed in Italy for two seasons and wound down his international career at the same time as his flirtation with continental football.
Souness was again captain and scored Scotland's goal (from a penalty) in a 2-1 defeat to England (on 23 April 1986) [2] just before the 1986 World Cup.
Caretaker manager Alex Ferguson put Souness in his squad for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and Souness played in two of the group games against Denmark and West Germany, both of which Scotland lost, again resulting in an early exit.
Souness had crucially been unfit for the game against Uruguay, a team whose tactics relied on cynical time-wasting and on kicking the opposition as much as the ball - many feel that Souness' own reputation as a hard player may have helped Scotland's cause. Others felt his absence was a good thing as his temperament may have got the better of him in such volatile circumstances.
As Scotland started to rebuild after the World Cup, he was no longer selected and his international career was over after 54 appearances and four goals in almost 12 years.
President Paolo Mantovani paid £650,000 for Souness who settled in at Sampdoria from the start, he linked up with England international Trevor Francis who had joined the Genoa based club in 1982. Souness and Francis were the perfect influence for the emerging Italians Roberto Mancini, Pietro Vierchowod and a certain Gianluca Vialli. Souness' trophy gathering knack continued with the 'Blucerchiati' (meaning blue-ringed), he was instrumental as, in his first season, the club won the Coppa Italia with a 3-1 victory over Serie A giants AC Milan, taking the trophy back to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris for the first time in the clubs history.
[edit] Managerial career
[edit] Rangers
He joined Rangers as player-manager for £300,000 in the spring of 1986, ready for the 1986-1987 season, the occasional bad challenge on opponents - something which Paisley had managed to restrict from him during his Liverpool days - immediately began to surface. He was sent off after just 34 minutes of his debut on 9 August 1986, it happened in his hometown, Edinburgh, against Hibernian after two crude challenges, one of the 'tackles' was on George McCluskey with Souness saying "my boot ran up his leg!" [3] Souness went on to receive a handful of red cards. Graeme's final appearance as a player was at Ibrox in a 2-0 victory over Dunfermline Athletic in Rangers' last home game of the 1989-90 season when he brought himself on for the final 20 minutes.
His other memorable activity at Rangers was his opening of the floodgates with signing non-Scottish players. He bought many Englishmen on the grounds that good players were the first requirement of a team wishing to succeed, irrespective of nationality. Scottish players had long decamped south of the border to ply their trade but English players had rarely gone north until Souness arrived at Rangers.
It is probable that many English players were attracted to Rangers because the club could play in European competition, while all English clubs were banned from Europe between 1985 and 1990 following the Heysel Stadium disaster. Souness bought defender Terry Butcher, who he described as "six foot four inches of solid muscle" from Ipswich Town to skipper the side and added goalkeeper Chris Woods and other English players.
His most controversial signing was, however, a Scot. Determined to end Rangers' policy of not signing high profile Roman Catholic players, he signed Mo Johnston who had been playing in France, this after the player had publicly pledged to return to his former club Celtic. The sectarianism between the two clubs plays a major part in the rivalry. Johnston soon settled in at Rangers and scored plenty of goals. Johnston left Rangers in 1991, moving to Everton.
Rangers won four Scottish Premier League titles (1987, 1989, 1990, and 1991) and four Scottish League Cups under Souness before he left to return to Liverpool in 1991 as manager after the resignation of Dalglish.
[edit] Liverpool
The four years which followed were uneventful for Souness and disastrous for Liverpool. There was little success on the field, with only a 2-0 victory in the 1992 FA Cup final over Second Division Sunderland, but poor tactics, ill-judged transfer dealings and poor man management caused the decline of what had once been regarded as the greatest football club in Europe.
Rumours about squabbles in the dressing room between the players and Souness were rife, with Ian Rush famously telling a Sky Sports interviewer that 'teacups being thrown' were nothing new. Souness' only consolation at this time was the fact that he had blooded several new prodigious young talents like Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler allowing them to play and develop in the first team as compared to all the other senior players whom Souness accused of lacking heart.
Ironically, it was his own heart that literally was under stress. Souness had major heart surgery in 1992, and led his players out at Wembley for the FA Cup final just days after leaving hospital. But there had been controversy over the semi-final against Portsmouth
The game itself went to a replay and then a penalty shoot-out, and in the event of a victory, an interview was due to be published in The Sun, a British tabloid, with Souness celebrating the win and his own successful surgery. The photograph which accompanied the interview was of Souness, in his hospital ward, kissing his girlfriend with joy at his own recovery and his team's win.
The interview was due to go in alongside the match report on 14 April 1992 but the late end to the game meant that the deadline for publication was missed and the report, with interview and photograph, went in on 15 April instead - the third anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
Liverpool fans reacted with fury after seeing that the interview was conducted with The Sun - a newspaper which had been boycotted by many people on Merseyside for the intervening years over its reporting of the events at Hillsborough. Although he apologised profusely at the time, Souness has since said that he probably should have resigned.
He made a full recovery from his heart operation and stayed at Liverpool until January 1994. He quit after an FA Cup defeat against Bristol City and was replaced by Roy Evans.
[edit] Galatasaray
He went to manage Galatasaray in Turkey, and again managed to court controversy with local issues - nearly sparking a riot after placing a large Galatasaray flag into the centre circle of the pitch of hated rivals Fenerbahçe after Galatasaray had beaten them in the Turkish Cup final. The iconic image of the victor planting the flag drew comparisons with Turkish hero Ulubatli Hasan, who was killed as he planted the Ottoman flag at the end of the Siege of Constantinople. This earned Souness the nickname 'Ulubatli Souness'.[4]
[edit] Southampton
Souness then returned to England to manage Southampton, but after one season he resigned, citing differences with chairman Rupert Lowe. He went back to Italy to become the coach at Torino Calcio but lasted just four months.
[edit] Benfica
In 1997, Souness was signed by SL Benfica's new chairman Vale e Azevedo, who promised to return the club to its old glories. The Scottish manager brought several British players from the Premier League (defenders Steve Harkness and Gary Akabusi Charles, midfielders Michael Thomas and Mark Pembridge and forwards Dean Saunders and Brian Deane), all of whom failed to excel. After two seasons without conquering any trophies, Souness was sacked and, with him, all of Benfica's British footballers (including the previously signed left-back Scott Minto).
[edit] Blackburn Rovers
He then became manager of Blackburn Rovers, earning promotion back to the Premiership in his first season. During his 4 year spell at Blackburn he unearthed talented youngsters such as Damien Duff, David Dunn and Matt Jansen and sold them all; he also brought Andy Cole to the club who scored along with Jansen to secure a 2-1 League Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur in 2002. He then guided Rovers to a top 6 finish before a disappointing final season in 2003-2004 when the club narrowly avoided relegation.
[edit] Newcastle United
Souness left Blackburn in 2004 to become manager of Newcastle United. Hs appointment was controversial as he replaced local here, Sir Bobby Robson, who had been sacked by the club.
Souness quickly fell out with a number of players including Welsh international Craig Bellamy who left the club to join his former employers, Blackburn, after being farmed out on loan to Celtic. Laurent Robert, Olivier Bernard and Jermaine Jenas are also believed to have left the club on bad terms with Souness. The team finished 14th in the league and despite making it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup, Souness found himself under mounting pressure from Toon supporters.
Newcastle began the 2005-06 season in poor form but Souness was hoping that the purchase of Michael Owen from Real Madrid on 30 August for an estimated club-record fee of £17 million would help to turn the club's fortunes around. Newcastle recorded a win in the Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland (3-2), and went on to win their next 3 games keeping 3 clean sheets. Souness seemed to be tightening Newcastle up in defence, with 6 clean sheets in Newcastle's first 12 games of the season (as many as the whole of the last campaign).
Souness' bringing together of two of the best England strikers in Alan Shearer and Michael Owen proved to be a major factor. However, to Souness's bad fortune, Michael Owen cracked the fifth metatarsal of his right foot when he clashed with England team-mate Paul Robinson during a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on 30 December 2005 and was out of action for approximately 2-3 months, adding to the manager's injury woes.
Souness' tactical ineptness in the modern game meant that his teams were unable to play anything like entertaining football, despite his bizarre claim that he was the most attacking manager Newcastle had had in the modern era, and his lack of long term planning meant that his squad was too thin meaning his side was weakened through injury throughout the season. Expensive signings such as Jean-Alain Boumsong for £8 million and Albert Luque for £10 million failed to make an impression and this again showed Souness' inability to manage at the top level. Souness' training regime was also thought to be thoroughly outdated, with players lacking the fitness of counterparts at other clubs. One pundit[attribution needed] even claimed "his tactics are non-existent the team have no shape, all he has done is bring in a lot of big names most of whom have been as bad as him!"
By the end of his reign as Newcastle boss, Souness was almost universally hated by the Newcastle fans, who regularly booed the team off after their regular dismal performances, and chants of "Souness Out" were both frequent and vociferous at games towards the end of his reign. A recent vote by a Newcastle fanzine voted Souness the worst manager of their history after transforming them from a side pushing for the Champions League to a side struggling to avoid relegation.
Newcastle were in 15th place in the Premiership table, a disappointing position for a club which had spent £50m since Souness' arrival, when his contract was terminated on 2 February 2006. He was replaced by Glenn Roeder who remains at the helm.
[edit] Since Newcastle
Souness recently flirted with the idea of succeeding Iain Dowie as manager of Crystal Palace. He was quoted as saying, "I have a lot of time for Simon Jordan and what he is doing at Crystal Palace. We get on. It is certainly something I would be interested in. I'm ready for another challenge and Palace is something that appeals should it arise." [5] However when Jordan offered Souness the job, Souness turned it down, reportedly because of family reasons.[6]
During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Souness served as a panellist for RTÉ Television's coverage of the tournament.
[edit] Wolverhampton Wanderers
More recently, Souness has been reportedly looking to purchase and run a football club. As of January 2007, he has been reported by the Daily Mirror to be heading a £20million consortium to take over Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. He has been reported to have attended a Wolves game as a VIP guest, and has made a formal offer for the club, asking to see the club's financial books. Wolverhampton Wanderers chief executive Jez Moxey has denied this offer, however Souness has told the Express & Star newspaper that he has in fact made an offer for the club. The make up of the consortium is currently unknown and open to speculation.
[edit] Biographies
In 1985, Souness wrote an autobiography called No Half Measures. In 1999 he wrote another book chronicling his post-playing career up to and including his spell at Southampton, entitled Souness: The Management Years.
[edit] Private Life
Souness and his 1st wife have 2 sons named Fraser and Jordan[citation needed]. He now lives with his 2nd wife, Karen, and has a son called James.
[edit] Recent personal honours
In 1998 Graeme was bestowed the honour of being included in the Football League 100 Legends List, he was chosen along with Liverpool team-mates, and friends, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen, as well as Ray Clemence and Ian Rush.
Graeme was also voted in at No.9 in the poll (though many say his disastrous spell in charge of the club hindered his chance of being voted in highr up) 100 Players Who Shook The Kop conducted by the official Liverpool Football Club web-site, 110,000 Liverpool supporters around the world voted for their favourite 10 Reds of all-time.
