Everything I Know About Me

Graeme Souness: The grumpy 70 year old dinosaur.

Listen on

Episode notes

Our guest for season 4 of "Everything I know About Me" is one of the most formidable and successful footballer players Scotland has ever produced - Graeme Souness.

Graeme was interviewed over 2 days in December 2023 where he opened up about his childhood in the pre-fabs of Edinburgh all the way through to the present day via all of his achievements but also the tragedies and controversies he has endured.

In today’s episode, Graeme takes to the sofa as a football pundit and we find out how even sat down in a studio, there’s never a dull moment when Graeme is concerned.

He talks about commentating on a game in the aftermath of the horrific Heysel Stadium disaster, we hear about what he really thinks of co-pundits such as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher and he bluntly tells us what he thinks about almost being cancelled for saying “It’s a man’s game all of a sudden again”.

Finally we hear about how a little girl with Epidermolysis Bullosa has stolen his heart and how he now dedicates his time to raising millions of pounds for DEBRA, a charity that supports individuals and families dealing with this horrific skin blistering condition.
