Terry McDermott

Liverpool legend Terry McDermott has confirmed he has been diagnosed with dementia.

The 69-year-old, who made 329 appearances and scored 81 goals for the Reds between 1974 and 1982, has announced he is in the early stages of Lewy Body dementia following hospital tests.

McDermott said: “I’ve got to get on with it and I will. It’s the way I’ve been brought up. Nothing has come to me easily. I’m not frightened of taking it on and also, as we’ve seen, there are a lot of former players in a worse state than me.

“Battling is second nature. The worst thing was, until my condition was diagnosed you don’t know what’s going on. The number of ex-players being diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s is frightening.”

McDermott is considered one of the greatest midfielders in the club’s history.

He was signed by the legendary Bob Paisley from Newcastle United in November 1974 and went on to lift four league titles, three European Cups, a UEFA Cup and two League Cups for Liverpool.

McDermott was also the recipient of the PFA Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year awards in 1980.

He was present at Anfield on Saturday for the Reds’ Premier League fixture with Burnley and is keen to maintain his attendance at Jürgen Klopp’s side’s matches.

“I’ve been looking forward to going down to Anfield and seeing the lads, people I have known for years and having a good craic with them,” he said. “Thankfully there are games coming up regularly now which I can go to.”

Everybody at Liverpool Football Club sends their love and best wishes to Terry and his family and the club will offer any and all support.

Sad news

Awful news. Take care Terry - a true warrior.

Surely a bit more than a coincidence that all these ex footballers getting brain damage.

Surely a bit more than a coincidence that all these ex footballers getting brain damage.

I don't know about that but over here it's practically epidemic, so I wouldn't think it affecting a subset of footballers within society is that unusual, mathematically.

Lost my mother to it 8-9 years before we ultimately lost her to CoVid. It is a mean one. Best wishes to Terry and family.

Awful news. Dementia is a cruel disease.

Stay strong Terry.

Of course dementia affects all in society and is in the Top 5 of killers but stats show footballers have a higher risk, 3.5X compared to the general population in the Glasgow study.

Sad news. :-(

Surely a bit more than a coincidence that all these ex footballers getting brain damage.

Not really when you consider the weight of some of the balls they used. It's the consistent headers a lot of players back then did with the very heavy balls and causes scarring to the brain.

In terms of the NFL - the film Concussion with Will Smith is a good movie about the effects of it within their game.

Sad to hear.

A genius footballer, gets nowhere near the credit he deserves for how good he was.

Best wishes to him

Surely a bit more than a coincidence that all these ex footballers getting brain damage.

I don't know to be fair, my mother has severe dementia had it for 8 years now never headed a ball in her life, majority of patients in EMI dementia homes are women there is an argument that they live longer hence why more get dementia but the age is coming down each year. Having said that the longest member of the carer home before he died was David Herd.

Terrible news for a great legend.

It has been shown that ex footballers have higher rates of dementia than general population, what isn't known is whether the weight of the ball makes a diifference. I would guess it doesn't ( less weight more speed ) I suppose we'll find out further down the line as research continues.

Horrible news!

Very sad to hear this news, he was a great footballer and a great man, thinking of you Terry....hugs.

Horrible disease…

Battle on Terry lad. Good luck with your fight.

All the best Terry. Scorer of my favourite ever Liverpool goal v Spurs at Anfield.

Shocking  disease having your memories taken away from you ,stay strong terry you were one hell of a midfielder..

Good luck Tez great player and could sink the beer as well, always remember him playing in the 7-0 defeat of Spurs he was good....

Very sad news to hear about Terry McDermott.

All the best Terry Mac. Let's hope the science boffins crack on with this one because this is a really horrible, long lasting illness for some.

Read somewhere the is more money spent on Botox than research on dementia.... sign of the times, no doubt we will be paying out for people who have had their ear lobes fixed after stretching them

Sad to read this, Terry Mac was always a favourite of mine, I hope he gets strength from all the people thinking of him and his family at this time.
Both my in-laws had dementia, it truly is a horrible disease and we need more research to find effective treatments and hopefully a cure.

So sorry to hear this about Terry, hope he and his family can provide the strength needed to confront this destructive condition.

So sad to learn of Terry's condition, he is a battler and I'm sure he will fight with all he has against this horrible disease......


....I too have my own battle ahead of me, ive recently learned i have a tumour at the base of my tongue,  biopsies have been taken, had both a MRI & CT scans and right now its a waiting game for the results to find out the severity of said tumour and which treatment the boffins decide is best for me, needless to say it will either be Chemotherapy, radiation or further surgery hasn't yet been ruled out, 

This is the worst time,  the not knowing,  not knowing if in two weeks their telling me I have only months left, or that we have caught it in time and although I'll be going through a real Shitty time i should come through relatively unscathed , hopefully the latter, so please my fellow Reds keep everything you have crossed,  i know my LFC family will be right behind me, and that will be a real positive for the weeks that lie ahead!!

UPDATE…..


Hi guys thought I’d update you all regarding my cancer…..it has been confirmed today that the biopsies taken are indeed cancerous, however, the good news (sort of) is that the tumour I have is treatable and I should make a full recovery…..I will need to go thru both Chemotherapy and Radiation…a kind of mixture of both I understand…but I’ll know more about it on Tuesday when I see the Oncologist…..I had a X-ray taken of my jaw in order to look at the health of my gob, it is likely that all my wee Gnashers will need to be removed before treatment starts, they can’t risk any kind of infection,  none whatsoever, so I could end up look like fookin  Shergar with my new teeth,  i will also need what they call a  ‘PEG’ fitted, which is a tube put through my stomach to allow food and nutrition, it may not be needed but apparently it’s easier to fit prior to treatment,…..so that’s it you know as much as I do …..


…Thanks for being there for me, your support has been most welcome and a great boost the last week or two,  there is no doubt I’m about to have the shittiest of times regarding the chemo/radiation, but I know that you are all behind me and wishing me well, Thank You all.

Best of luck, Billy. I'm sure everybody else on the board says the same. I'm sure it is a result of all the shouting you did standing on the Kop all those years ago. Keep you spirits up, mate. We're all shouting for you, and for the other poor footballers who are suffering from various stages of dementia. Ray

All the best in your treatment en route to your full recovery Billy.

Update…..

Firstly thank you all for your continued support it truly is appreciated……


On Tuesday I learnt my fate, had a meet with my oncologist, so basically it is a tumour, at the back end of my tongue, it is larger than we first though but still treatable, however it’s location disallows surgery, so it will be zapped using both Chemotherapy and radiation treatment,

Prior to treatment tho, they need to remove all my wee gnashers, under a general anaesthetic (thankfully) and once the swelling subsides they will start to prep me for treatment, ie: they will fit a PEG, into my stomach which will allow food and nutrition,

The treatment itself is administered on a daily basis, it’s called Chemo-Radiation with Cisplatin, Cisplatin being the big dog, so 30 zaps of this sh*t with the chemotherapy should kill off the tumour, but here’s the rub, the side effects are horrendous, or can be, everyone is different so I guess I’ll just need to suck it up and see, I’ve read it changes you as a person, so hopefully I don’t come out the other side as Heimdall,

The good part is, I’ll have a brand new set of chompers, top and bottom, and I won’t care if I look like Methadone Mick from ‘Still Game’, I will have come through this,  the recovery period can be as long as you want it to be, but in general terms 6-8 weeks, however there are no rules, again everyone is different and you take as long as you need, so that’s it guys, your updated, I’m just waiting to hear from the orthodontist for a date, no doubt tho I will have to be covid tested and self isolate three days before the op.



So a Massive Thank You to you all for supporting me, I know you have my back and that is a great comfort,

Thank You.

Thank you everyone, your support is fantastic and very much appreciated, thank you all…


Tomorrow is the day I lose all my wee gnashers, yep, their getting ripped out of that hole in my face and leaving what can only described as a abyss, to say I’m a bit anxious is a understatement if I’m honest but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay alive, to let you understand, the treatment I’ll be having in a week or two is called ChemoRadiation…I’ll be having daily bouts of radiation for 30 days, Monday to Friday for six weeks, with occasional blasts of chemotherapy,

The radiation itself dries your mouth out and therefore your teeth, think Gobi  desert dry, I don’t have the healthiest of teeth and  the radiation can make them crumble and they can become infected, so remove the risk, henceforth no teeth no infection,  you really don’t want any kind of infection when your white blood cells are low, your immune system is severely weakened by the radiation, think how we were last season without Virgil, Joe, Joel, Hendo and Fabinho, this will be me in a few weeks, I believe my treatment will start on the 11th of October, so wish me well, I’ll see you on the other side.
