Graeme Souness

Souness going to swim the channel in aid of the DEBRA charity.
What a great cause to do it for and a terrific gesture.

I donated. Hurts my heart so much.

Fair play to Souness. Always respected him ever since he told it how it was when Tevez refused to warm up in the CL.

I might regret asking this as I kinda like Souness but, what did he say.

Always seemed like a good bloke and for those too young to have seen him play, he was a great player, a proper midfield ‘enforcer’ (not that the term was used back then).

I think he’s a fair person, understand how locality would be an issue though.

I am a bluenose. I’d say the same if it was Gerrard or Spit the Dog.

I became aware of ‘DEBRA (EB) about 30 years ago when my wife was invited to a charity event, basically they invited anyone called Deborah and all the spellings associated with the name (Debbie, Debra etc etc), it was just to show what the disease was about, educating people and raising awareness, and hopefully get some donations.

Now we read a bit about it to get an idea of what it was, but really didn’t fully get just how horrible and severe this got for many people, it was truly horrific and unimaginable to have to live your life with it, even writing that, l’m still not sure I’ve given the sufferers justice.

So well done Graeme and hope you raise a ton of money for it.

There was a channel 4 documentary on years ago about a fella from northumbria who suffered from the same thing. Sadly passed away in 2003, but his story was heartwarming. So very cruel this disease.

I met John at that previously mentioned event, genuinely lovely fella.

Basically backed Mancini and said Tevez was bang out of order for not coming on when told to.

It's seems little now but at the time it really stuck with me.

This is just a piece of it.

he did really well to change his thoughts to say dud at the end of that clip.

I like him even more now. Cheers.

A friend of our family ex 1st division player from the 60's was due to have a triple heart by pass surgery. I dont know how Souness knew about it but I know he got in touch with our friend and gave him reassurance at it etc.
