Scotland and Rangers legend Graeme Souness completes charity swim of English Channel

The 70-year-old Liverpool, Scotland and Rangers icon took on the challenge after being inspired by the bravery of 14-year-old Scots schoolgirl Isla Grist and other children who suffer from painful skin condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

The team - made up of Souness, Isla's dad Andy, and four others - was due to set off from Dover at midday today. But the challenge was brought forward by 14 hours, due to changes in the weather and tide forecasts.
