Height : - .m

Weight : -  - kgs

Came to Spurs as a talented midfielder from Scotland, but could not bear to be away from his home land, so moved to Middlesbrough !!

Signed as an apprentice in April 1969 following a successful spell in our A team, scoring on his debut in a Metropolitan League game against the Metropolitan Police in December 1968.

He was part of the successful Youth side of 1969-1970 which won the FA Youth Cup for the first time for the club (having been sent off in the final) and added the South East Counties League, the Southern Junior Floodlit Cup and the London Youth Cup, as they almost swept the board of silverware in every competition they took part in. 

While the FA Youth Cup Final went to a second replay against Coventry City, it was the goal from Souness that won it for Tottenham and he was signed as a professional just after the final in May 1970.   He made an unauthorised trip to Scotland that year, claiming he was homesick and the MP, Tam Dalyell, raised a question in the Houses of Parliament about the player's employment rights.

The following season, Graeme established himself at the club in the reserves and the season after, he came on as a substitute for Spurs in a UEFA Cup tie against Keflavik, in what turned out to be his only appearance for Tottenham.

The player was loaned out to NASL side Montreal Olympic with Mike Dillon in 1972, but on his return, he felt frustrated that he was being kept out of the first team by other players and feeling homesick, he joined Middlesbrough in January 1973.

Following a successful spell under Jack Charlton's management, he was transferred to Liverpool and won a haul of trophies with the Anfield club.  After that, he played out his career at Sampdoria in Italy and then finished it in Scotland playing for Glasgow Rangers, where he managed the side at the same time.  He controversially signed the Catholic player Celtic wanted to buy - Mo Johnston - bringing many supporters of the staunchly Protestant club to burn their season tickets in protest.

On retirement in May 1989, he went into management.  Among the clubs he was in charge of were Liverpool (from 1991 until 1994), Galatasaray (1995 until 1996), Southampton (1996), Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle.

Moved to Italy, where he became manager of Torino between June and October 1999.
