Graeme Souness 'humbled' as ex-Liverpool star recognised in King's honours list

Liverpool icon Graeme Souness has been awarded a CBE in the King's Birthday honours list after his 'life-changing' charity work.

Souness has been recognised for his services and support to charity after his efforts to raise awareness of epidermolysis bullosa . The Scot is a vice-president of DEBRA UK, who refer to themselves as 'The Butterfly Skin Charity', and raised over £1million for the charity after embarking on the challenge of swimming 30 miles of the English channel.

"It is wonderful that the King has honoured me with a CBE and it is important to acknowledge the whole team which works tirelessly to find solutions to the intolerable pain, itch and inflammation of this horrendous condition. This is for my friend Isla and everyone else living with EB."
