Souness was a supporter of Hearts and Rangers and was born and raised in Edinburgh’s Saughton Mains district. During his teens, he engaged in the neighborhood boys’ group North Merchiston.

Souness started his professional career as an apprentice under Bill Nicholson at Tottenham Hotspur. He signed formal papers in 1968 when he was 15 years old. He reportedly became frustrated with the lack of first-team opportunities and informed Nicholson that he was the greatest player at the team. Souness only served as a substitute once for Spurs during a UEFA Cup match.
