Upon hanging up the mic, Souness chatted with Simon Jordan to lift the lid on his punditry secrets.
Asked to name the pundits he likes while chatting to William Hill show Up Front, Souness said: “I like Roy (Keane). I like listening to Roy.”
When Jordan pressed him for who else he likes, Souness revealed his nickname for Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.
He added: “The Chuckle Brothers can be entertaining.”
The 69-year-old then continued: “I think Gary Neville and Carragher can be entertaining. It makes me chuckle anyway.”
Souness was then asked what Keane was like during Man United’s 7-0 humiliation at Anfield earlier this season.
He responded: “I think Roy was boiling inside but took it gracefully.
“He knew his team hadn’t turned up, they’d been miserable.”

Provocatively asked about Neville’s political statements, with the ex-full-back having joined the Labour Party last year, Souness was initially coy.
He then admitted: “I think he does overstep the mark with some of these crusades that he goes on.”
Souness fought back tears as he announced his retirement from Sky Sports after 15 years last Sunday.
Speaking about his decision, he said: “I’m going to miss you guys, the guys behind the scenes, our makeup girl, I’ll miss you all.
“You know, for me, I decided that football management wasn’t for me anymore. I had the wrong temperament for it, the wrong personality.
“And then I was given the opportunity to do this and it’s been magnificent. It’s just been the most fantastic time for me, because I love football, I care about football and I worry about it going forward.
“But in Sky’s hands, it’s in good hands, safe hands, and I think over the years we’ve created a Premier League with great detail and I think we look after football very well.
“But for me personally, I’ve got the buzz of live football coming to some fantastic games and some fantastic stadiums and some great events.
“I think I owe 100 apologies to people, but we haven’t got time for that.”
