Former Liverpool defender Chris Lawler is “humbled and delighted” after a fellow ex-player offered to pay for his hip operation. He launched an online fundraiser on Tuesday to pay for the operation privately for his 77-year-old father but within a couple of hours a former Liverpool player, who wishes to remain anonymous, stepped forward to cover the £20,000 cost. It is understood Liverpool have also been in touch with the family to offer their support. Chirs Lawler, sixth from left, celebrates Liverpool’s 1965 FA Cup win on the Wembley pitch (PA). His other hip is so bad now that he is unable to walk properly and is in constant pain.
