Former Liverpool captain Ronnie Moran was hospitalized on Tuesday and is considered to be in "comfortable" condition.
Moran, a true servant of his hometown team, spent 46 years working for the club in some capacity.
As a player, Moran made almost 400 appearances for the Reds, mainly operating at left back in a playing career that stretched from 1952 to 1965.
Moran was an integral member of the famous Boot Room meetings and spent his backroom career ingraining the "Liverpool way" into new players and staff.
Moran’s official retirement from involvement with the club came in 1998, with the club playing a testimonial against Celtic in 2000 to honor his life-long contributions.
However, Moran has continued to maintain an active presence in the club, something acknowledged by manager Kenny Dalglish who told LFC.tv, "He's part of the fabric here, even now. He comes here two or three times per week to walk by what he calls his prison exercise yard, which is just by the walls here at Melwood.
"He wasn't feeling great so that's the best place [hospital] for him. We've been assured that he's very comfortable. Although he's not 100 percent, he's not too bad. Ronnie's been a fantastic part of this football club for almost as long as he has been alive. Let's hope he has a few more years in him yet. It's great to see him when he comes here.
"He knows how much the club respect him and care for him."
