The guy was a complete thug and put many players out of the game.

His debut for Rangers at ER will forever live in my memory.

[MrSmith]

Never a Hun! His brother had a wee newsagents next to Mathers on Broughton st. This was about 1984 if I recall correctly. Gordon Souness, very like Graeme but think older? In the shop, I frequented regularly was a picture at that time, of Souness with the Hearts team. Gordon treasured it as it was the only picture of his brother taken with a Scottish team and given it was who he supported, was pride of place above his till. Gordon told me Graeme was a Hearts fan.

Does he have another brother? I worked beside a guy (he was a Planning Officer) and I'm sure he was Graham's brother. His name wasn't Gordon though.

[Hibs_dot_com]

Graeme was a Hearts supporter as a kid. Gordon, the oldest brother, was on Hearts books as a seventeen year old.
Had another older brother called Billy

[MrSmith]

I don't know? Only ever met Gordon.

[WoreTheGreen]

Woked in his brothers house when he answered the door double of Graham only taller .good luck to him

[iwasthere1972]

Can only wish him well.

I've remembered, his name was Jim and he may have been a cousin.

[Future17]

Grew up on Albion Place IIRC. Think I recall him saying he and his dad used to sneak in to ER at night and play on the pitch fairly regularly.

I really quite like Souness. I think he comes across as passionate, honest and he's obviously mellowed the nastier aspects of his character which he displayed as a player.

He's spoken about his debut against us with massive regret. He mentioned walking off after the red card and looking up to the main stand where his dad was sitting. He said something like it suddenly hit him that he'd just disgraced himself in front of his dad in "his own back garden". He said the sense of shame would live with him for a long time.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Jim was his dad's name. He had two older brothers Gordon and Billy
and they all lived in the Saughton Mains prefabs

Was there not a Jim Souness who was the boss of Life Association of Scotland. He had played football at Hibs (never made the first team) and Hearts. He died in a climbing accident. Used to work with his sister years ago.

Don't know if they were related.

[Hibby Bairn]

If only we had a midfield general like Souness in the Scotland team.

He was also a long time BB officer at Newhaven.

He died in a climbing accident in Switzerland the weekend he retired.Pretty sad.

This was probably late eighties. He looked like Graham and the more I think about it, I'm sure he was a cousin.
