For many young viewers of football, Graeme Souness is simply that grumpy guy who attacks Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba at every opportunity. As it turns out, that's exactly how Pogba views him too.
Souness' scathing criticisms of Pogba have turned into a meme in recent times, with the former Liverpool midfielder's love of blaming everything on Pogba making for some easy content.
"Paul Pogba. I see him dancing at a wedding. I see him shooting hoops."

Look away now, Souness, because Pogba told The Official Manchester United Podcast that he does not actually know who the three-time European Cup-winning Scot is. Yikes.
“I didn’t even know who he was, really,” Pogba confessed.

"I guess they miss me, I don’t know?" he joked. "I’m not someone that looks always at Sky News. After the games, when I watch it again I watch the game, not the comments.
"When you know football, you don’t need someone to tell you what’s happening. Obviously what I hear when people are saying ‘Paul is doing this…Paul…Paul’ I don’t know.
"One day maybe I will meet them [the critics] and ask them because I really want to know why. I am doing my recovery, I can be somewhere else and I hear something but I’m just doing my recovery, you know?
"If they want to speak they are allowed to speak, it’s their job to speak. I am used to it now. I am really used to it, it doesn’t bother me. It’s good to hear good stuff instead of bad stuff but when you play football, you know yourself. It’s what your manager and team-mates want, the rest is just talk. It’s selling stuff I think."
