The family of Mick Lyons have confirmed that the Everton great has been diagnosed with dementia.
Lyons captained Everton and played for the club 473 times as a defender and is regarded as a Goodison great by supporters. The 70-year-old’s family have revealed he was diagnosed last year, after they became concerned around Christmas 2019.
Lyons’ family have confirmed that he is in the early stages of his diagnosis and is still living life to its fullest in Australia. However, the Blues legend, despite being able to talk about his time at the club, often struggles with his short-term memory.
