DWIGHT Yorke has warned Newcastle's players: "Don't take any liberties with Graeme Souness".

The former Blackburn striker, who joined Birmingham last week, had a high profile fall-out with Souness during his time at Ewood Park.

And he believes the likes of Kieron Dyer - who refused to play in right midfield for Newcastle under Robson - could be in for a shock.

Yorke said: "I don't think Souness would stand for a player refusing to play in a certain position.

"He is definitely not someone to take liberties with.

"He has been a very successful player and manager during his career and has an aura about him when he is walking around the place, which commands respect from a footballing point of view.

"He is very disciplined and likes doing the right things the right way.

"I didn't have a problem with that and, despite what happened between us, I can only wish him good luck at Newcastle."
