That's down to Neil Simpson who destroyed what would have been a world class cerreer from Ian Durrant. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was destined to play for a top team in a top league until that challenge. Souness mentioned that in the lead up to the game, Durrant had mentioned that he thought Simpson would be out to "do him".

He played in 3 separate World Cups, and, interestingly, in Argentina he missed the debacles with Peru and Iran, but played when we beat the second best side in the World, Holland. Just coincidence I'm sure. He captained the best club side in Europe, arguably the world, won 3 European Cups, 5 English League titles and 2 Scottish League titles and played helped Sampdoria win the first trophy in their entire history. For four years running he was named in the PFA Team Of The Year and also named in the PFA Team Of the Century 20 years after he retired. For 4 or 5 seasons Souness would have been a first choice for any club, and any country, in the world. I don't know what your definition of 'World class' is but if Souness doesn't qualify for it then I don't know who does. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
