Liverpool legend Souness: I hope Milner forgives me
Posted Sunday, May 14, 2023 by Tribalfootball.com
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has apologised to James Milner.
When Newcastle boss, Souness was unhappy with Milner's decision to leave for Aston Villa on-loan.
"I was discussing leadership with Simon Jordan. James Milner was one of those I named as a leader I would want in my dressing room. At Newcastle, I knew him as a young boy," Souness wrote in his Daily Mail column.
"He has matured into a professional you can bet is a ten out of ten around the dressing room. He was upset with me many years ago at Newcastle when I said that 'you won't win the league with James Milners' and he took that as me saying he wasn't good enough.
"I was trying to say that you needed men. He was only 19 at the time. I apologised to him for that and I hope he's forgiven me. You can never have enough James Milners in the dressing room. He makes other players turn up."
