Souness spent the ultimate years of his enjoying profession at Ibrox, profitable three league titles and 4 Scottish League Cups as participant and coach.
His finest years had been spent at Liverpool. Liverpool have a historical past of being nice central midfielders, however Ferguson believes Souness is remoted.
“Together with Graeme Souness,[Steven Gerrard]might be the very best midfield participant Liverpool has ever had, though I might put Souness above all of them.”
However the tough-tackling midfielder did not simply win at Rangers, he reworked the entire membership, taking them into a brand new period and inheriting a group that may dominate Scottish soccer for practically a decade.
He received 54 caps for Scotland and captained his nation with uncompromising authority wherever he went.
And Ferguson wasn’t the one one praising him.
Alan Hansen, who performed with Souness at Liverpool and Scotland, mentioned succinctly: “Graham was the king.”
Excessive reward from a person who has shared dressing rooms with a few of the finest gamers of each era, and Sir Alex clearly shared the identical verdict.
