Souness once said he didn't need to do team talks as there were 6-7 leaders in the team. Alves does not need an armband to lead. Hopefully there will be more like him. Butcher, Woods, Roberts and Souness himself were all natural leaders. Even a guy like big Sadie McPherson would probably be our instant captain if he was around right now. Players like Stuart Munro, Ally Dawson (a former captain) and Cammy Fraser also had the cajones on the park (probably why Souness kept them around). Easter Road in August 1986: the only two people I can remember who didn't want involved in the centre-circle swedge were Roughie in the Hibs goal... And big Ted McMinn, who was just a bit lackadaisical in getting into position, as was often the case with the Tin Man. And, say what you want about McCoist, but he would scrap with the best of them too. I recently read that he was positioned in the tunnel at the whistle that day because he was waiting to stealth-attack some Hibs players and Terry Butcher actually had to drag him away in a headlock.

Great post mate. At our peak not only did we have some players who bled blue, but we had a squad that you felt would protect and die for each other. It was amazing to watch. Even guys that didn't grow up fans got taken along. Not just us, all the best successful sides have it. We need leaders back on the park and backbone back in the club.

And when Souness, Butcher and Roberts left the club, next up were Gough, Brown, McCall and Ian Ferguson who it's arguable were even more of the ilk that you describe.
