Liverpool F.C. is set to release a new LFC Original film, 'Captains', featuring a conversation with Steven Gerrard, Graeme Souness, and Virgil van Dijk. The trio of Reds icons gathered at Anfield for an in-depth discussion about the privilege of representing and skippering the club.
The film captures a fascinating conversation between Gerrard, Souness, and Van Dijk, discussing their experiences as captains of Liverpool F.C. Souness, a natural leader from the minute he arrived from Middlesbrough in 1978, wore the armband from early 1982 until his departure in 1984, with his last act leading Joe Fagan's side to a famous win in a European Cup final in Rome.
