John Toshack Rejects Son’s Dementia Claim After Spanish Press Visit

The conflicting accounts leave his condition unconfirmed publicly.

Overview

  • The 77-year-old, who spoke to El Mundo on Friday at his Girona home, said “Dementia? Not yet!” and appeared lucid in video published by the Spanish paper.
  • His wife, Mai Angulo, said Thursday she was surprised by Cameron’s interview and said he had not seen his father for two years.
  • Cameron Toshack, who coaches in Thailand, told the Daily Mail in a story published Wednesday that his father had a formal diagnosis and described short-term memory lapses with strong recall of past matches.
  • Spanish outlets visited and shared footage from Toshack’s home, UK publications led with Cameron’s account, and no medical records or clinician statements have been made public.
  • Toshack is a former Liverpool striker and Wales and Real Madrid manager, and he spent over a week in intensive care in 2022 with Covid-related pneumonia that his wife says left lasting physical and cognitive effects.
