Football: SOUEY WON'T GIVE UP THE BATTLE

GRAEME SOUNESS has vowed to put his health on the line to dig Blackburn out of crisis.

The Rovers boss, who has battled back from a triple heart-bypass, takes his men to Leicester today looking to avoid a fifth straight top-flight defeat.

Souness said: "I still regard myself to be very privileged to have this job. I have no doubts that come next May we will be in a much more comfortable position."

Meanwhile Micky Adams has warned Leicester fans not to view his team's capitulation against Wolves as a blip.

The Foxes tossed away a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3 and Adams said: "I hope if we're in that situation again we might have learned a lesson.

"But I don't think we can be that confident that it was a one-off because we're not that good!"
