Graeme Souness chokes back tears in moving tribute to late former team-mate David Johnson

Graeme Souness has paid an emotional tribute to David Johnson, who has died at the age of 71.

The former Liverpool man played alongside Souness at Anfield, winning two European Cups together in 1978 and 1981. He would make 213 appearances and score 78 goals in six years with the Reds as they enjoyed huge dominance - Johnson himself helping them claim four top flight titles.

Johnson, nicknamed 'The Doc', also had two spells with Liverpool's neighbours Everton and played eight times for England, scoring on six occasions. Before joining Liverpool he had made over 100 appearances for Ipswich, where he played under Sir Bobby Robson.
