PROFILE
A former captain of the England u-18 team, Harkness was a hot-tempered midfielder
who seemed destined for a great future in the game. He struggled to earn a first team
place under Souness and Dalglish. He asked to be transferred in the 1994/95 season but an
injury crisis meant Harkness got his chance at LFC and he was first-choice for the first
half of the 1995/96 season playing as a left wing-back in Evans' 3-5-2 formation.
Harkness got suspended for receiving too many bookings and that cost him his place.
He made a return to the starting line-up but broke his leg after an hour's play against
Coventry on the 6th of April 1996. He played his next game 11 months later. He featured
regularily again in 1997/98, but became one of the first players Houllier got rid of in
his first season. Souness was manager at Benfica and wanted his man back. He later
followed Souness to Blackburn.
