    Don't regret it. As a neutral it showed real balls of steel. Has gone down in history as one of those moments never to be forgotten.
    I have many Turkish friends that love him for it. Admittedly they are Galatasaray fans.

      I know Souness has said he feels a little hard done by that he didn't get more time at Gala as the run of sucess they had under Terihm might have been under him.

      As a Galatasaray fan we still talk about it and give it to the Fener fans. His nickname is Ulubatli Souness. "Ulubatli" meaning flag conqueror as a famous historical mythical figure in turkish history.

    There is a legendary soldier in Turkish history. That soldier is Ulubatlı Hasan, who planted the Turkish flag on the Byzantine walls at the end of the 53-day siege on May 29, 1453. Graeme Souness deserved this nickname after that glorious day when his planted the flag in fenerbahçe Stadium.I have never seen Ulubatlı Hasan, I have never met Ulubatlı Hasan, I was 5 years old when his planted the Souness flag, as a result, I love Graeme as I love Hasan.
