Former Liverpool captain and manager Graeme Souness is embarking on his toughest challenge to date by swimming the English Channel and back to raise money for a cause close to his heart.

Back in 2023, Kop hero Souness swam the Channel for the charity and raised £1.5m (£2m) for the cause.

This time around, he will be swimming double the distance he did last time, as he looks to raise £750,000 ($1m) to fund two EB clinical trials - which could lead to treatments to alleviate the pain those suffering from the condition live with on a daily basis.

In his role as an ambassador for DEBRA, Souness is set to don his wetsuit and hit the water on April 30 at Dover.
