“I’ll fight both of you now” – Shearer describes the legendary Gers player’s part in the historic Newcastle brawl

When it comes to his reputation as a player, Graeme Souness occasionally receives a poor rap.

The former Rangers manager is well-known for taking hard hits.

As players like Ally McCoist, Ian Durrant, Derek Ferguson, Terry Butcher, and Graham Roberts,

particularly the latter two, discovered, the former Gers manager was an equally notorious hard-charging boss.

Alan Shearer, who never backs down from a battle, recounted on the Match of the Day Top Ten podcast how

he and his colleagues Keiron Dyer and Lee Bowyer once squared off against Graeme Souness,

demonstrating that he had not lost his fire from his Rangers days.

The Newcastle United duo’s altercation with Dyer and Bowyer is an uncommon occurrence in contemporary football,

and Shearer explains why it began.

In addition, the former captain of the Toon provides an explanation of Graeme Souness’s part in the altercation and explains why,

even at his advanced age, the former Ibrox enforcer of midfield was not someone to cross.

“You can imagine that when I walked back into the dressing room as captain,

I exclaimed, ‘You two (expletive deleted) idiots!'”

Then Souey—you know, Graeme Souness—entered.

“So, when Souey entered, everything was flying everywhere,

he was effing and blinding, and he exclaimed, ‘You two (expletive removed),

I’ll fight the two of you now!'”

Scottish-born Graeme James Souness  is a former professional football player, manager, and analyst on television.

Midfielder Souness captained the Scotland national team in addition to being the captain of the prosperous Liverpool squad in the early 1980s and the player-manager of Rangers in the late 1980s.

Along with Sampdoria, he played for Middlesbrough and Tottenham Hotspur.

Before taking the helm of Liverpool as manager, Souness started his management career as a manager, first managing Rangers to three Scottish crowns and four league cups.

Later in life, he managed Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, Galatasaray, Southampton, Torino, and Benfica.
