This is sad.

Ronnie Moran has passed away age 83. The former Liverpool captain, coach and caretaker manager had been suffering with dementia and his passing was confirmed by his son Paul on Wednesday morning. Moran passed away after a short illness. https://twitter.com/paulmoran62/status/844467738877808640 Moran was a true club legend at Anfield. The former left-back joined his hometown team in 1952 and spent 16 years in the first team, making 379 appearances. When he retired from playing, he became a full-time coach and a member of Bill Shankley's famous "boot room." Moran would work as a coach under every Liverpool manager from from the 1950s to the 1990s. From Shankly through to Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish, and later under Graeme Souness and Roy Evans. He also had two spells as caretaker manager, in 1991 and 1992 respectively, before retiring in 1998. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher led the tributes on social media to Moran. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/844472820105183232 https://twitter.com/mbrooky123/status/844473074774949889 https://twitter.com/R5PFA/status/844473249283084289 https://twitter.com/JamesPearceEcho/status/844472413001842689 https://twitter.com/liam4285/status/844472796239552513 https://twitter.com/TonyBarrett/status/844470295490695168 https://twitter.com/KCsixtyseven/status/844472762022449153 https://twitter.com/KopiteDarren/status/844472705697140738 https://twitter.com/Dendodavinkeln/status/844472598113202177 https://twitter.com/jon_flan93/status/844472234609704960 https://twitter.com/scottrogers95/status/844471569296576512
