Graeme Souness

Graeme Souness solidified his status as a football icon during his impactful tenure as a midfielder for Liverpool, joining the club in January 1978. An integral force in the team’s historic success, Souness contributed to five First Division titles, three European Cups, and four League Cups. He provided the assist for the only goal in the 1978 European Cup Final and secured his first League title medals with Liverpool in the 1978–79 and 1979–80 seasons. Awarded the Liverpool club captaincy in the 1981–82 season, he led the team to further glory by winning both the League Championship and League Cup in 1981–82 and 1982–83.

This remarkable endeavor successfully raised £1 million for the charity, underscoring his commitment to philanthropy. In recognition of his lifetime contributions to football and charity, Graeme Souness was awarded a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2024 King’s Birthday Honours List.
