"Souey slaughters the butcher (1983/84)" by Darren Grady

I was on the Kop that night  -didn't see the punch as it was off the ball but I remember like most thinking he was playacting until someone close by who had seen the incident explained.

Souness was an unbelievable player. Can't remember him giving the ball away and he had more to his range than players like Ray 'the crab' Wilkins.

I don't know if any footage of that incident exists but I have seen footage of an incident when he was playing for Rangers, when he planted his studs into the bollocks of his opponent with a ridiculously late challenge. I can't remember if he was booked or sent off for that but I have a feeling it was also against Dinamo Bucharest!

Beast of a player.

Can anyone find a clip of him taking out Moses in the Milk cup final in 83? He done him big time. I can't get a clip of it anywhere.

Yeah I know what you're talking about there - not sure if LFCTV includes that in the highlights. Moses was no angel and cultivated a hard man image but this was no contest.

His debut for Rangers, he destroyed a Hibernian player, straight red.

Then an old firm game, might have been his first at Parkhead, Billy Stark, Celtic player, only had 1 boot on, some eedjit passed it to him as he was trying to put the boot on. He quickly got rid of the ball but a second later, fucking wham, Souness went through him. Straight red.

That was when Scottish football wasn't turd.

Was at the Bucharest game and the milk cup final but the one that sticks in my mind is at Sunderland around Christmas '82. In the paddock there and he went through one of their lads right in front of us. Great, great player for us.

I remember that game as well. No one was absolutely sure what had happened to him, but Souness was rock. No one fucked with him.

Absolute beast of a player. The iron fist in the velvet glove sums him up perfectly. Best captain I ever saw lead a Liverpool team, and possibly the best player to wear the jersey.

Gerrard > Souness

As a player and a man.

It's all about opinions. Souness as a man is always tainted for selling his sole for 40 pieces of silver. Call him a cunt for that, he deserves it. For me, on the pitch, the best leader we've had (at least in my 30 odd years watching us). Again, all about opinions.

I was in the Anfield Road for that Dinamo game, didn't see the punch but saw plenty of Dinamo kicking shit out of us. You just didn't mess with Souness but he was also a brilliant player. He was a real competitor, better than Gerrard in my view because Gerrard is prone to flakiness. The second half against Chelsea and the last 15 minutes against Palace are painful proof of that.

Hadn't Moses been giving it the Billy Big Bollocks leading up to that Milk Cup Final saying how hard he was and what he was going to do to us.

First 50/50 tackle of the game and Souness wiped him out and the rest of the game vitually passed him by.

Great player and leader on the pitch, Shite manager though.

That second leg performace has got to be one the greatest by and Liverpool player he was kicked to fuck by the Bucharest players and yet continued to want the ball and dominate the midfield....Read somewhere that  at half time his socks were in shreads due to the kicking he took....

A beast of a player with the touch of an artist.....

Terrible tackle to be fair but you have to laugh when after Souness makes it he points at his calf like he's the one been done...
