Liverpool legend Graeme Souness hits stunning landmark after swim across English channel

Liverpool icon and former manager Graeme Souness has completed his swim across the English channel for the charity, DEBRA, who offer support to individuals living with Epidemolysis Bullosa (EB).

The Scot made his way onto the 21-mile journey and hit the stunning landmark of raising £1m for the organisation. EB is a rare condition that causes painful, blistering skin for which there is currently no cure.

Souness came across the story and it struck a chord with the former Sky Sports pundit who took on the challenge after spending time with Isla Grist, 14, who is living with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.
