Liverpool FC legend coming to Belfast and he's bringing a special guest

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness is coming to Belfast later this year and he's bringing a special guest with him.

The former Anfield skipper will be appearing at the Waterfront Hall on Friday night, May 19.

Souness will talk through and highlights and disappointments in his glittering career, which also featured spells at Rangers and Sampdoria.

The 69-year-old joined Liverpool from Middlesbrough for a then club-record fee in 1978. He went on to become captain of the legendary Reds team of the 1980s, winning an incredible five league championships and three European Cups.

After a successful spell in Italy with Sampdoria, Souness became player-manager of Rangers in 1986, transforming the Ibrox club, signing players such as Chris Woods, Trevor Steven, Gary Stevens, Trevor Francis, Ray Wilkins and Maurice Johnston, and winning three league titles.

Souness - who earned 54 caps for Scotland - also managed Liverpool, Galatasary, Southampton, Torino, Benfica, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.

He is now a respected pundit with Sky Sports, covering the Premier League alongside the likes of Roy Keane and Gary Neville.

Souness will be discussing all this and more in what has been billed as a "special unscripted event".

And as an added extra, he will be joined by special guest Michael O'Neill, who kicked off his second spell as Northern Ireland manager last week.

O'Neill will reflect on his own playing and managerial career, which included guiding Northern Ireland to a historic first European Championship finals in 2016.

Tickets range from £40 to £150.
