Souness' touchline ban

The fiery Scot was left fuming when Liverpool forward Emile Heskey clattered into Nils Eric Johansson, and he let the man in the middle.

Unfortunately for Souey, he was shown red and had to go for an early bath. "I was sent off for the first time in a long time," confirmed Souness. "My sending-off was probably the only thing the ref got right."

The ban will see him miss the defence of Worthington Cup at home to Walsall, as well as Premier League clashes with Southampton and Everton.
