McDermott’s in dementia battle

- EXCLUSIVE by JOHN RICHARDSON

TERRY McDERMOTT is the latest football legend to reveal that he has been diagnosed with dementia.

The former Liverpool and England midfielder, still adored by Kop fans, has announced his battle against the disease just a few days after Manchester United hero

Denis Law disclosed that he has

Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. McDermott, though, is determined to fight against the condition. He was at Anfield yesterday as a matchday host and said: “I’ve got to get on with it and I will. I’m not frightened of taking it on.”
