One of the best two footed tacklers I have ever seen. Right foot, left foot, he could could disable people equally well.

[norneaernourn]

The VAR monitor would just go up in flames the moment he stepped on the pitch.

[Antonocon]

One of the greatest martial artists to ever hit a ball.

Graeme was in the spine of one of the greatest teams in history for a reason. Saying he was unskilled is just embarrassing. Everyone talks about his tackles and how he’d be “arrested” nowadays, but if you grow up and realize that football was different back then, you also realize that every team had (or wanted) a player like Souness in those days. He was one of the best in the world at his job. The quintessential midfield general of his era. The man’s range of passing was absolutely stunning. Perfectly weighted through balls, laser-like switches of play and long balls, smashing an opponent to bits and keeping it nice and tidy afterwards with some of the greatest ever Liverpool forwards relying on him to find them in the channels. Great runner with the ball too - immensely strong, and kept the ball close to his feet on some of the worst pitches you’ll ever see in color film footage. The guy is a legend for a reason.

My dad used to say to my mum “I’m going to the pub for a Graeme Souness. One half then I’ll be off.”

[Stormy]

He was two-footed, like many of his tackles!

[mehmo]

Imagine training all your life, sacrifice things that means a lot to you, work very hard to get to the top and finally being able to provide for your whole family, just for it all to get abruptly ended by a double-footed tackle on your kneecap from this guy...

[campdogg]

He was World class. One of the few Scotsmen who were.

[matthewpace]

The title should read “Graeme Souness shows why he wouldn’t last a full ninety minutes in today’s game”.

[karimbeldi]

This is the man calling Werner out for dangerous play

[jimreynolds]

The irony is that he didn't need to do half of the thuggery - he could actually play! He could pick a pass and he knew where the goal was. If someone played like that today they would be jailed!

[chriscolton]

😂😂That episode when he planted the Galatasaray flag on the pitch, away at Fenerbahce, was absolutely sensational. Still cracks me up to this day. No f***s given, there, by Souey... 😂

[lolavan]

Imagine how many rollovers Neymar would do after a Souness tackle.

[mahafuzalam]

My respect for Maradona for doing what he did in this era has doubled after watching this.

[davegaskell]

There is a lot I don't like about modern football but the removal of dirty and dangerous challenges like those Souness regularly carried out is a big improvement.

[JohnBrown-obnx]

Like it or not, nearly every club had a thug in the 1st team in those days. But he was a better all round player than many of the others boot boys of his generation.

[bvadher]

Bruce Lee: "There is no opponents."

Rodger Federer: "You have to have respect for your opponents, because the opponents might be your friend."

Graham Souness: "There is no ball. There is only the opponents."

[elim]

His tackles aren't even good ones, they're just dirty

[INITIAL-AS]

Most footballers today wouldnt survive 80's wages

[mhsr]

Yeah, but we've moved on from the 80's Graeme. Anyone...ANYONE can break someone's leg. There's nothing beautiful or admirable in that. Cowardly, two-footed, piss-poor excuses for tackles that he learned during the thuggery of the 70's. Football is The Beautiful Game, and he, along with all the other 'hard men', is/are a relic of everything football shouldn't be. Strength, physicality, determination and good leadership...yes. Potential career-ending Probably gone too far these days with the shameful big girl's blousery that goes on with the diving and rolling around trying to get opponents sent off, but I'm still relieved to see the back of 'Football's Hard Men'. Souness, Harris, Hunter, Smith et al RIP.
