James McGill Souness (9 November 1928 – 2 September 1990) was a Scottish footballer and cricketer. Souness played for both of the Edinburgh derby rivals, Hibs and Hearts.[1] An outside right, Souness was unable to break into the Hibs team ahead of Scotland international Gordon Smith.[1] He moved to Hearts in 1953 and helped the club win the 1954–55 Scottish League Cup.[1] Souness retired from playing football soon afterwards, when he became a qualified actuary.[1]

After retiring from competitive sport, Souness climbed over 200 of the Scottish Munros.[1] In September 1990, he was killed in a climbing accident on the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland, the day after he retired. His sons witnessed the accident.
