Ex-Wolves and England footballer Geoff Thomas is riding in his seventh Tour De this summer to raise money towards clinical leukaemia trials.

The retired player and former leukaemia sufferer will be part of a team to cycle the full 2,200-mile (3,540km) route across 21 days in June and July.

The challenge aims to raise £1m for Cure Leukaemia, with Thomas describing it as the "most gruelling" of his life.

He said: "I first did it in 2005, when I was six months in remission - if I could do it then, what's stopping me now":[]}
