Kenny Dalglish is among the greatest British footballers, a Scottish forward whose intelligence and touch redefined the role of the deep-lying attacker. At Celtic he established himself as a star, before moving to Liverpool and becoming the club’s talisman through its most dominant years.
King Kenny orchestrated attacks with his back to goal, shielding the ball and releasing team-mates with disguised precision, and scored decisive goals of his own, including in a European Cup final. As player-manager he later delivered further titles at Anfield.
A serial winner at club level and a stalwart for Scotland, he combined vision with resilience and remains one of the most revered figures in the history of the British game.
