Movila in 84 v Dinamo Bucharest.
He got battered in the 2nd leg and took it all for the team. Meanwhile we battered them 4-1 to go to Rome. That was a team that fought for each other.
The Northern Irish and their balaclavas.
Those ties were where Souness was in his element. He loved a fight but had the panache of a musketeer. Souness the player was a giant for us. He glided around the pitch and looked after his team mates whilst teaching Whelan the same thing. He was done by Stielike early on in the 81 final and said he felt like a passenger from then on but you wouldn't have noticed it.
In Rome in 84 he was like a gladiator. He thrived off that type of atmosphere. A shame there wasn't more tv coverage back then as he was magnificent to watch.
Ronnie Whelan was one hell of an enforcer. A role he never got credit for particularly towards the end of his LFC career, when that crop of Fowler, McManaman etc were coming through. He made sure people didn't take liberties with the kids.
Those were the good old days you know. I remember me and three mates being pulled over in Luton airport in 2000 while going to visit @Bradley and being asked all sorts of questions about where we were going and what we were going to do. Now I can waltz through any of the London airports and no one bats an eyelid at me.
I'd suggest you don't grow a beard....
It would be the shittiest beard on Earth. Plus it would be ginger. I wouldn't fool anyone with that setup. I would need to change my name...
I'm growing a beard for a bet.
It's getting more ginger by the day & half the hair is at right angles to my face. Not good, I'm close to breaking point.

A great tale. I was very young when Souey was in his pomp but I remember loving him. One of my first LFC heroes.
A bit of ginger??? A bit of Celtic never did anyone any harm la! Unless of course you're of Nordic descent? 😉
Dig out his autobiography. Ignore the Management section and you'll get loads more great stories from that era.
It's the itching that wrecks me, after a few days of no shaving I can't handle it. And my beard is pretty shit, I've a bald patch under my chin.
I can grow enough stubble to rub against my son's face to tickle him and make him laugh. I keep it solely for this purpose.
It's been ten days.
It's a little patchy here & there, but that's normal for the first few weeks apparently, but most of the itching has gone.
It's the fact so much of it appears random & straggly that bothers me, I look like a homeless.

This wont be the most popular thing to say, but Souness is probably my favourite Liverpool player of all time
I Know where you're coming from.
1984?
If only
Half the time playing Wembley singles I was Steve McMahon. Him and Souey in a square go would be a sight to behold.
The irony about that one (the 1988 Rotariu one) was that he got the wrong man! Souey later explained:
Oops. Never knew that. Small wonder they were out to get him over there. 😀
Souness had it all. A supreme leader, harder than nails, a scorer of crucial goals and, amazingly, given the fact that he was so brutal, an artist too. Sorry about the shite starburst effect in this vid, but illustrates all sides of Souness perfectly.
Cracking Video, Brilliant player. I rather like the disco starburst vibe of it. 😎
