Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [22nd - 27th February 2019]

Souness is probably the one Liverpool player of all time that I'm most fascinated with. Because of everything that happened when he was manager you don't always get a fair reflection of him as a player but one thing everybody says is that he was the toughest & nastiest player about - it didn't matter where on the pitch there was an incident, you could guarantee he was in the middle of it.
 
Souness was filthy I can recall one challenge in particular where he absolutely cleansed someone, real bad challenge and he's there pointing at his sock as though he's been fouled. Will always be a Blackburn legend though.

Edit: haha found it, can't even call it a challenge it's basically assault. Bet he didn't get sent off either.

 
The best story was the 84 European Cup semi where he punched and broke the jaw of a Bucarest player. I've heard stories about the replay in Romania where he was public enemy number 1 with even the airport staff were spitting at him and making cut throat gestures.
 
You know if you're planting a Galatasary flag in the centre circle at Fenerbahce you've got balls of steel.
