Well done Mr Souness. Hope you raise much for such a worthy cause.

Re: Souness Swim

I’m old enough to remember Graeme Souness as a fine player, but a dirty sod who was never a favourite of mine after his disgraceful challenge on Peter Nicholas in a Scotland v Wales match at Hampden Park. I also didn’t rate him much as a pundit, but this news has brought about a change of mind on my part - what a great gesture to help such a worthy cause, my best wishes to all involved.

I'm taking all my grudges to the grave, and I would never wimp out just because somebody is having a splash about in the water. Luckily, I'm a fan of Mr Souness, so good luck to him and what a great gesture it is :thumbup:

Re: Souness Swim

Somewhat off message, but did anyone listen to "A boy in the water" on radio 4 extra https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bhfnpz.

The story of the youngest child (11 years old) to swim The Channel.

Amazing what he went through to reach his goal. If you are at all interested, catch it now before it disappears.

He's always looked after himself and despite being a dirty get he was also a bit of a warrior

Re: Souness Swim

Anyone complaining about the French not stopping boats cross the channel won’t have a leg to stand on if we allow Souness to swim unchallenged over there

Didn't he have a heart attack?

I’m glad you eventually realised what the purpose of this thread was all about.

Triple by pass about 20 years ago? Like so many causes, worth a donation

Re: Souness Swim

Think it was the 1992 FA cup final, Liverpool v Sunderland

He looks amazing for his age and is clearly in cracking shape
