'I nearly crashed my car with what you said!': Graeme Souness RINGS UP talkSPORT to call out Martin Keown over comments on Liverpool legends Mark Lawrenson and Alan Hansen and says he 'couldn't have picked a worse example' in row over backpass rules

Graeme Souness and Martin Keown clashed live on talkSPORT after the latter critcised Liverpool duo Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson for always passing the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Keown was discussing how the backpass rule has improved the game and claimed Hansen and Lawrenson wasted time by regularly giving the ball back to goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar during a 1988 FA Cup fourth round tie.

But Souness, who played alongside the duo in the Liverpool side that dominated football in the 1980s, then rang up the radio station to complain to Keown about his comments and praise his former team-mates for their ball-playing ability.
