Graeme Souness has revealed his feelings about Roy Keane just months after the pair were involved in a heated debate whilst on punditry duty at the Qatar World Cup.
At the weekend, Souness announced live on Sky Sports that he was stepping down from ounditry at the end of the season. The 69-year old held back tears as he thanked his colleagues and those behind the scenes.
Speaking to William Hill show 'Up Front' Souness said this about the Ireland legend, "I like Roy. I like listening to Roy."

"I think Roy was boiling inside but took it gracefully.
"He knew his team hadn't turned up, they'd been miserable."
Souness also jokingly referred to Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville as 'The Chucklebrothers' but did admit he enjoys listening to the pair.
"I think Gary Neville and Carragher can be entertaining. It makes me chuckle anyway."
Despite him enjoying Neville's punditry he was critical of the ex-Manchester United defender's political endeavours.
"I think he does overstep the mark with some of these crusades that he goes on."
Speaking about his decision to stand down from Sky Sports the Ex-Liverpool and Scotland legends said,
"I’m going to miss you guys, the guys behind the scenes, our makeup girl, I’ll miss you all.
"You know, for me, I decided that football management wasn’t for me anymore. I had the wrong temperament for it, the wrong personality.
"And then I was given the opportunity to do this and it’s been magnificent. It’s just been the most fantastic time for me, because I love football, I care about football and I worry about it going forward.
"But in Sky’s hands, it’s in good hands, safe hands, and I think over the years we’ve created a Premier League with great detail and I think we look after football very well.
"But for me personally, I’ve got the buzz of live football coming to some fantastic games and some fantastic stadiums and some great events.
"I think I owe 100 apologies to people, but we haven’t got time for that."
