[Dicko]

Greatest British midfielder of all time.

Second greatest midfielder of all time after Socrates.

Still remember that game quite well. My first proper memory is Ronnie Whelan curler league cup final. I'll just go off my Dad who said he was a better midfielder than Gerrard. Interesting to know how many games Dicko saw of Socrates.

I think that’s true, marginally. Gerrard was the better player though, could play anywhere. Souness was the greatest at what he did best.

Souness's first goal for us v the mancs in 1978.

They brought that up when he was on ITV. What a way to open your account.

Great fucking player and an even better leader if we needed to be picked up he shake his fist at everyone and that’s all it took

I thought he was saying Ronnie Whelan was better than Gerrard! Very good was Whelan but very much a team player rather than an individual.

You mentioned Ronnie Whelan in your post,not Graeme Souness. I had to check the thread title to remember who we were actually talking about here.

Great ball out wide with his right foot.

 

Buries it with his left foot.

Was that '5 past' Paddy Roche in goal there or Stepney?

That nonchalant pass with backspin… Almost an equal to the goal. 

I’m sure I scored debut goals exactly like that against man united too but my back garden as a kid.

I bet his 70 year old heart and body would put my 43 year old heart and body to shame. 

I was in Dorset the following week on holiday. I spoke to some lifeguards who did the swim too and said his was completed in a good respectable time. And that he seemed alright.

Sends it perfectly, then motions back into me.

 

Perfect midfielder.
