Former Liverpool midfielder Peter Cormack, who was signed by Bill Shankly from Nottingham Forest, has died at the age of 78.
During a four-year stint at Anfield between 1972 and 1976, the Scotland international became a First Division championship, Uefa Cup and FA Cup winner.
Cormack made 52 appearances during his first season, scoring 10 goals, to help Shankly’s side win the First Division title and their first piece of European silverware.
His Reds career was cut short by a knee injury and he left the club in November 1976, having racked up 178 appearances and 26 goals.
“The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool FC are with Peter’s family and friends at this very sad and difficult time,” read a club statement.
“Playing in front of the Kop every week was a bit special” – listen to BBC Radio Merseyside archive interview with Cormack on BBC Sounds
