Sadness as Gary Ablett dies aged 46

FORMER Liverpool and Everton defender Gary Ablett died on New Year's Day at the age of 46. His death came twenty years to the day since his last game for Liverpool, a club he'd joined straight from school in 1982. That last game for the Reds was at home to Sheffield United, a 2-1 win for a side, now managed by Graeme Souness, was a shadow of the one he'd made his debut for five years previously and with which he'd won two league winners medals and one FA Cup winners medal.

Graeme Souness didn't pull any punches when discussing Carlos Tevez on Sky last night. In a refreshing antidote to the usual boring, clichéd responses of UK TV pundits, the former Liverpool man labelled the Argentinian "a disgrace to football".

Viewers of RTE television in Ireland will be used to this kind of no-holds-barred pundity.

I think Graeme Souness restrained himself magnificently when describing Carlos Tevez after the striker's refusal to come off the bench for Man City in Munich.

The former Liverpool hero described the Argentine as a "bad apple" and says the club need to get rid of him ASAP.

Now I'm probably not alone in thinking that Tevez represents more than a ‘bad apple'.

Probably not.

* After making his debut with Liverpool in 1976, Sammy Lee would go on to become a key player in midfield for the next decade, playing an important role in European Cup and league triumphs before eventually being pushed out by injuries and Jan Mølby in 1986.
