Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has apologised to James Milner.

When Newcastle boss, Souness was unhappy with Milner's decision to leave for Aston Villa on-loan.

"I was discussing leadership with Simon Jordan. James Milner was one of those I named as a leader I would want in my dressing room. At Newcastle, I knew him as a young boy," Souness wrote in his Daily Mail column.

"He has matured into a professional you can bet is a ten out of ten around the dressing room. He was upset with me many years ago at Newcastle when I said that 'you won't win the league with James Milners' and he took that as me saying he wasn't good enough.

I was trying to say that you needed men. He was only 19 at the time. I apologised to him for that and I hope he's forgiven me. You can never have enough James Milners in the dressing room. He makes other players turn up."
