But Cameron Toshack, now assistant manager at Buriram United in Thailand, has revealed that his father, 77, is currently experiencing memory loss symptoms. Toshack is the second member of Liverpool’s 1970s team to confirm a dementia diagnosis after Terry McDermott went pubic on his condition in August 2021.

“It’s the short-term memory where we’re seeing it – I speak to him most days and if we chat in the afternoon, he might not remember that we also spoke in the morning. “But if I ask him about the Liverpool days, or Sociedad or Madrid, the detail is amazing.

“The other day he was telling me about a Real Madrid game against Arrigo Saachi’s AC Milan and exactly how he tweaked his midfield to deal with Marco van Basten. “I’ll talk to him about what we’re doing in Thailand and he still gives great advice.
