Graeme Souness expressed his pride on national radio after raising over £1million pounds for a charity close to his heart.
Swimming 30 miles of the English Channel between five others, the former Liverpool man took on this challenge in support of DEBRA, who offer support to individuals living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
A degenerative condition that attacks children's organs and development, EB causes one's skin to become fragile and often results in painful blisters. There is currently no cure for the condition. A meeting with a 14-year-old girl named Isla four years ago that alerted Souness to EB, and the pair have since stayed in touch.
