Riise, 44, is a cult hero at the Anfield side and was a part of the side that won the Champions League in 2005.

He retired from playing back in 2023 and has now completed his toughest challenge.

The Norweigian took part in a charity running event at Toppform Fitness in the town of Moss in his homeland.

The challenge saw runners take on a day’s worth of running on an indoor treadmill.

They raised money for a mental health charity.

Most runners only completed segments of the 24 hours, while Riise ran for the full day.

His spectacular efforts drew in large crowds as he helped the event raise £17,850 for charity.

After completing the mega run, Riise admitted that it was evidently exhausted.

He said: “It’s the toughest and most intense thing I’ve ever been through, physically and mentally.

“(The money raised) makes it worth it, even though it was incredibly tough at times.”

Riise also revealed his brilliant plans to start his recovery after putting his body through the gruelling challenge.

He proclaimed: “I’m going home, shower, put my feet on the couch, order the biggest kebab ever with hot sauce, Pepsi Max, candy.

“Then I’m not going to move for two days.”

He also posted a message to his fans on Instagram.

He wrote: “This is the moment I finished 24 hours on the treadmill.

“Proud of my achievement and especially where I was physically and mentally four months ago.

“Did this for a great cause, mental health! I ended up with 172km, in a run I didn’t think I could do.

“Thanks for all the support and everyone that participated and ran during this very hard 24 hours.”

THIS is the shocking moment a rugby player plunged to his death after tombstoning off a 60-foot cliff.

Horrified tourists watched as the 28-year-old Argentinian sportsman, Santiago Bourdieu, jumped from an infamously dangerous spot in Hawaii.

The video, captured on Saturday afternoon, caught Bourdieu start running towards the “Spitting Cave” cliff edge on the American island of Oahu, near Honolulu.

The Rugby player, who was on holiday, appeared to fall at a bad angle on his fatal jump.

This horrifying video caught onlookers gasp when the Argentinian splashed into the water.

Panic ensued once the sportsman did not resurface from his 60-foot leap.

The video then cut to several people desperately searching for the Argentinian in the water.

One of these people reportedly included one of his friends but they could not locate him.

Lifeguards from Honolulu Department of Ocean Safety rushed to the scene to locate the 28-year-old.

It reportedly took them 15 minutes to find him in the choppy water, with him being found at 6:22 pm.

The horrifying video also showed two lifeguards quickly joining on a jetski with a stretcher.

They hoisted his body onto the stretcher as the footage ends.

Bourdieu was transported to Maunalua Bay, where rescuers performed CPR on him before rushing to hospital – where he later died.

Bourdieu also worked as a PE teacher and a personal trainer in Buenos Aires.

The 28-year-old also played rugby at the San Isidro Club (SIC) until last year, when he became a physical trainer.

The SIC released a heartbreaking statement after his shock death saying: “We share great affection [with] all the family and friends of Santi in this moment.

“Santi was a player of the 96 generation and also collaborated as a PF in our youth divisions. He will be missed.”

The Buenos Aires Rugby Union added: “The Board of Directors of URBA expresses its condolences for the death of the former player and current PF of the SIC senior team, Santiago Bourdieu, and accompanies his family, his friends and the club in this moment of sadness.”

Spitting Cave is one of Hawaii’s top tourist spots but is known locally as a dangerous diving spot.

Its eerie name comes from the strong and unpredictable waves, paired with wild currents, that quickly change.

Honolulu authorities have long warned tourists about this diving spot.

IT’S a great time to be alive – if you’re an asylum seeker or foreign criminal.

Never have the chances of you being booted out of the country been lower.

Good times ahead for these asylum seekers arriving from France, with weaselly lawyers waiting to make their cases to judges who’ll simply smile and agree[/caption]

 Never have the chances of getting your hands on our benefits been higher.

This isn’t entirely Labour’s fault. Although they don’t seem to consider that the millions of illegal immigrants here is remotely shocking.

Nigel Farage has said that there are more than half a million illegal migrants in London alone. But the ­Government is oblivious.

And it is not just the ­politicians.

Consider the following stories, all of which happened here, in the UK, in one week.

 Bear in mind that these are the ones we KNOW about.

They include examples of why migrants who have been convicted of crimes have been allowed to stay in this country.

I wish I could tell you I’ve made them all up. But I haven’t. Surreal as they undoubtedly are, they are also absolutely true.

First up, there’s the Pakistani bloke convicted of sexual assault on barely pubescent girls. He got 18 months in prison and then we decided to deport him.

 But a tribunal ruled that we couldn’t, because his ­Pakistani relatives might “take a dim view” of his misdemeanours and be nasty to him. Nope, not kidding.

Then there’s the Albanian criminal who has been given leave to remain in the UK in part because his son, who has sensory issues and emotional difficulties, likes the chicken nuggets they do here.

His lad is a bit temperamental. He knows what he likes.

In each case the sensitivities of the criminal are afforded more weight than the rights of British people not to have to suffer yet more criminals in our country

Have you ever tried an Albanian chicken nugget? Well, there you are, then.

Then there’s Lynthia ­Calliste, a woman from ­Grenada who arrived on a six-month visa. That was in 2018. We’ve at last got around to chucking her out.

But she is challenging her deportation under Article Eight of the European ­Convention of Human Rights.

She has married a ­Latvian bloke. And she says that he wouldn’t enjoy the cuisine in the ­Caribbean. And also that the weather there would be too hot for him.

And here’s the thing.

I bet she wins the appeal.

Now, each of those cases seem ludicrous.

In each case the sensitivities of the criminal are afforded more weight than the rights of British people not to have to suffer yet more criminals in our country.

Some people blame the aforementioned European Convention on Human Rights.

And sure, it is outdated and needs to be rewritten from start to finish. Or we should pull out of it.

Some blame the European Court of Human Rights and, sure, we should get free from that too.

The weaselly lawyers make their cases and the judges smile and agree

But I do not believe either intended for the law to be interpreted the way it has been in those cases I’ve mentioned.

So while this international legislation isn’t especially helpful, it is not the chief cause of the problem.

Weaselly lawyers

The main cause is the individual judges who preside over these cases.

Often anonymous, they seem to make it a point of pride to refuse the deportation of almost everybody who comes before them.

The weaselly lawyers make their cases and the judges smile and agree.

The only way to stop this is to weed out the badduns.

 Sack them. Bin them.

If they are seen to have ­interpreted the law in a ­particularly absurd manner, kick them out of their jobs.

And perhaps, when training these overpaid drongos, make it clear that in each case a balance is to be struck between the rights of the individual and the rights of the rest of us.

And if the migrant is guilty of a serious crime, he forfeits his rights immediately.

THE Danes have tried multi-culturalism – and they’ve given up. Now they are busy trying to break down the slums of immigrants in Copenhagen.

 And forcing them to assimilate with everyone else in the country.

 Of course people are telling them it is “racist”.

And the God-awful EU might try to stop them.

 But in the end, every country in Europe – even the ultra-liberal Danes – ends up letting in so many migrants.

 And allowing them to fester in ­ghettos.

HAMAS FACING THE END

The Mega Agency

The deadline for Hamas to release hostages looms for Benjamin Netanyahu, while a UK court ruling on Palestinian immigration raises urgent concerns[/caption]

IT will be interesting to see what happens in Gaza on Saturday morning.

That’s the deadline for Hamas to hand over the remaining hostages.

Otherwise, as Benjamin Netanyahu puts it, “all hell will break loose.” And he has the USA’s backing.

One way or another, I think we will be seeing the end of Hamas in the next few months, perhaps weeks. That may not mean peace in the Middle East. But it will be a giant step towards it.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian family have been given the right to settle here from a British court.

If the Government does not want an even bigger migrant crisis on its hands, it needs to sort this out immediately.

The British people will not put up with this for much longer.

What’s the Grande plan for Joe?

THE Creative Artists Agency is probably America’s top talent roster.

They handle such big names as Ariana Grande and Brad Pitt.

But they are as ­nothing compared to CAA’s latest signing – Joe Biden.

It is not yet known what particular talent Mr Biden and CAA wish to jointly exploit – sword swallowing? Cycling across the Grand Canyon on a narrow cable?

Eating a record number of pork pies? Being able to remember, on occasion, his own name?

THE new Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration has been chosen.

 It’s a bloke called John Tuckett. His job will be to assess how well the Government is doing at stopping small boat crossings and making sure our borders are secure.

 His salary will be £130,000.

Mr Tuckett, inset, told MPs he would very much like to do the job partly working from home. Nobody seemed to mind this.

 Do you know where his home is? Finland. Now No10 has told him he must work in the UK.

Do you get the feeling that he isn’t taking immigration very seriously?

MANCHESTER UNITED co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly fears the club could go BUST – unless he radically cuts costs.

SunSport revealed on Tuesday the United chief is set to axe up between 100-200 more staff at Old Trafford.

More than 100 jobs are set to go at Old Trafford[/caption]

Ratcliffe paid £1billion to acquire 27.7 per cent of the Premier League club last year.

The 72-year-old has since taken a sledgehammer to United’s finances.

He made 250 of the 1,150 workforce redundant last July and has incensed fans by cutting pay to club ambassadors, including ex-boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

According to the Guardian, Ratcliffe has indicated he “has little choice” but to cut costs considerably across the club.

United lost £300m over the past three years – but the United co-owner is confident he can turn things around in two seasons.

Insiders told the outlet United would have “run out of cash” had Ratcliffe not injected £240m last year.

And Ratcliffe is prepared to keep going with his cost-cutting – despite knowing it is hugely unpopular with fans.

Almost EVERY United player could be up for sale this summer at Old Trafford.

It’s been a dismal season on the field, with the Red Devils currently languishing in the bottom half of the top flight.

Manager Ruben Amorim admitted relegation was a “possibility” and called his side the “worst United team in history“.

To get around PSR rules, homegrown stars such as Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo look set to be sold before investment can begin on the team.

United were quiet in the January window, bringing in Patrick Dorgu for £25m from Lecce and youngster Ayden Heaven from Arsenal.

Ratcliffe has ambitious plans for Old Trafford and the surrounding area.

He wants to build a “Wembley of the North” on the current site – at a cost of nearly £2bn.

The club are still deliberating whether to invest in Old Trafford or move to a new 100,000-seater stadium.

A decision is expected on the Government-backed plans before the summer.
