Graeme Souness spoke candidly about his Liverpool regrets during his appearance on Monday Night Football.
Souness won five league titles and three European Cups as a player with Liverpool, and then managed them between 1991 and 1994.
Despite winning the FA Cup in 1992, Liverpool’s dominance of English football was fading, and the Sky Sports pundit admits he tried to change the culture of the club too fast.
In a must-read account of his time at Anfield, Souness opens up about his biggest regrets, and why certain perceptions of him still hurt him badly.

I'm not even a Liverpool fan, but what a player Souness was. He literally had everything in his locker and would be worth £150m in today's market.
But you have got to ask yourself,what was Paul Pogba doing?
This is the true captain who knows how to actually play ball unlike hendo
Always be remembered as being one of our top players. What happened as a manager, for me personally, means nothing. He made us invincible. All the best, Souey!
As a Man Utd fan this guy was an absolute legend of a footballer, classy and hard as a paratrooper.
It’s always entertaining to listen to Souness
That black belt in taeqwondo,came in handy.
In addition to being the superb footballer he was, he would've made a great James Bond.
LFC;s most successful years coincided with Graeme as player and captain – 12 major trophies in six years when the League Cup meant something, culminating in a treble in 1984. The club has struggled to emulate that ever since.
For that reason I place him as one of if not the greatest Liverpool player. Ian Rush said that going out onto the pitch with Graeme in your team gave you an immediate psychological advantage. The opposition just didn't want to know.
Oh for a player like that again at Liverpool today!
Tommy Smith!? Probably the only guy in that team that would make even Graham 'think twice'!
Tremendous interview. I have a ton of respect for Souness
that thumb nail proves that Graeme i'll break your legs Souness has had hair implants llf.
Never have regrets in life. Learn from experience’s and move on. He was the best midfield player of his generation and served Liverpool supremely well.
That last bit, Graeme your a legend nothing can change it.
Ulubatlı Gream Souness ❤💛
What does it take for this man get knighted In your country ??? It's a sin if he didn't get this honour …
Souness playing style was kind of a Taekwondo,,if it was in this modern era he could have been the king of Red Cards..
And people wanna talk to him about football 😂
I’m sorry, but I have watched some of his game in YouTube , he was very brutal player
“I’m perceived by someone to be something I’m not.” Anyone care to fill in?
What did he mean at the end about being perceived as someone he's not by Liverpool fans?
To me he was the best midfielder ever for Liverpool he was ruthless and you just wouldn’t want to be on the opposite side he played like it was his last game, but as a coach for Liverpool he was very very poor but love him
Great interview. Graeme came to Middlesbrough and jack had him next to Murdoch and Armstrong..what a midfield that was btw..souness was class back then …I mean class ..as a young man.great player.
Was enjoying that until JC squeaked in
Am a man united fan but I have Alot of time and respect for him honest and proper player in his Day
Souness knows that today's players are Cream Puffs.
Souness was a fantastic midfielder. Nothing changes that.
If only he'd have stayed at spurs, had the privilege of seeing him play in a spurs shirt at St Andrews, in a youth Cup game.
The one that got away, what a player, hard as nails and skilful with it, another Dave Mackay.
COYS
Sourness. Thug and criminal.
Like it. Le Tissier
Wish Redknapp not Carra would have been at the table for this. Reckon Grae needed a cuddle off Redders at the end there.
Love Souness, can still remember as a 9 year old crying the day he left Rangers, absolutely heartbroken that he could leave our club and didn't think I'd ever forgive him but of course the pull of Liverpool was too much and as I grew up and learned of the way he was being forced out by the SFA and that he turned Liverpool down twice before, it became easy to forgive him especially since Walter Smith done such a great job for us and that Souness always says he regrets leaving Rangers and that there was no bigger club….
He may have not succeeded in the way he hoped or the Liverpool fans hoped or expected as manager but as he says and from what I've heard from ex players he definitely tried his best and it was just the worst possible time for him to be manager, coming off the huge success of the 80s and into a transition period for the club… he may have his critics as a manager especially later on but he revolutionised Scottish football and won cups with Liverpool, Blackburn and Galatasaray and who can forget that Flag incident in Turkey, what an absolute legend!!
As a player there is no argument, he was an icon, won everything there is to win including 3 cups with the big ears and in an era where Liverpool have only managed 1 title in 30 years he managed to scoop 5 of them, he went to Serie A when that league was the pinnacle, captained his country, played at 3 world cups and is up there as one of the best Scottish players of all time and one of the best the UK has produced full stop… so glad he still on our screens as well, love listening to him
Really interesting.
Souness is not a nice man if you have been bullied out of a game, But Like Tommy Smith, he takes no prisoners, and you cannot help but admire his commitment,
LEGEND of all legends 🔴⚪🔵 WATP
we enjoyed and loved what you on the pitch! I think you was our best midfielder and captain. You was, like comments say below : midfielder general. What a player, what a attitude , what a man! Thank you.
id like to know what other things he regrets? what hurt him? He sold Staunton and kept burrows… probably for english player rules. Saunders was never as good as he was before… did nigel clough come too? also never worked out…. Hansen retiring…. barnes getting older…. rush coming to his end….. many many things against him, huge rebuilding job needed.. Man Utd spending a fortune…. a shame, but life
For everyone in the comments who think he’s referring to the on pitch form during his time at the end, he’s not.
He meant his interview with the s*n that he did while managing Liverpool just a few years after Hillsborough. Have to keep that in mind, while one can feel sorry for him with the look on his face and how he talks about it and all, but he just SHOULD'VE known so much better at the time!
