The tech entrepreneur who sells their start-up before they're old enough to rent a car, the footballer whose boots are worth more than most people's salaries, the social media star who monetises their bedroom recordings into seven-figure empires.

The Sounesses are regular attenders at Wimbledon - and so too were many of the others who attended on Saturday. The list included cricketers Andrew Strauss and Ian Botham, and Team GB cycling power couple Jason and Laura Kenny. Multiple Olympic sailing medallist Ben Ainslie was present too as was Irish rugby hero Brian O'Driscoll and Olympic sailing and rowing stars Ben Ainslie and Steve Redgrave.

Souness also needed shoulder SURGERY after completing the last charity channel swim - but he was determined not to let the side down and duly did his bit for a good cause.

Moment dehydrated and seasick Rangers hero Graeme Souness, 71, says 'I feel terrible' during latest charity channel swim Asked about the "dodgy period" he had suffered since the last swim, Souness replied: "It was one of two things, I think I've either gone and dehydrated myself sitting for three hours in the sunshine before the first swim or a bit of seasickness but I felt terrible. Speaking at the conclusion of the event, Souness added: "How do I feel? I'm knackered! I really am, no amount of training can prepare you for what we just did. "Last time it was tough, but this time was even tougher. The weather was nice though! "I am emotional when I think about why we did this. To support Isla and everyone else living with this horrendous condition." 5 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

A presidential election is expected towards the end of October, as it must take place in the 60 days before the term of current president Michael D Higgins ends on November 11. To be eligible to run, a candidate must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. They must be nominated either by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas or at least four local authorities. Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves.
