Souey recently returned to viewers’ screens with ITV for Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United in the quarter-final of the FA Cup last month.

He appeared alongside his old sparring partner Roy Keane and Ian Wright for the channel.

Souness never formally retired from punditry and declared himself “still very much open for business” after he left Sky.

He did appeared for England‘s clash with Scotland at Hampden Park last year, which England won 3-1.

The fixture was played to mark the 150th anniversary of the first international fixture.

Souness also appears regularly on talkSPORT, as he vows not to give up on giving his opinions on the game.

He told The Telegraph: “I will never retire.

“I will be retired when the phone stops ringing. I know we have to be very careful with what words we choose now, but you must be as honest as you possibly can, consistently.

“And just be real. That is becoming more and more difficult for the guys who are doing it now.”

He disagreed with the notion that pundits should be required to have achieved it all in order to analyse the top level.

He added: “That is like saying Arsene Wenger or Jose Mourinho shouldn’t have been great managers.

“There are people I will listen to. There are people I think ‘no, you have nothing I’m going to learn from you at all’. That is only me.”

Back in February, he told Simon Jordan on their podcast that his radio and charity work has kept him busier than ever.
