Graeme Souness supported by Alison Hammond as he fights back tears on This Morning

Graeme Souness was supported as he fought back tears on today's This Morning.

The former Liverpool FC captain appeared on the show to raise awareness about a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa. The 70-year-old is training to swim the Channel to raise money for the charity, DEBRA, which supports people with the disorder.
