as a Scotsman and a Celtic fan with leanings for Liverpool - I have to say hands down that Kenny is the greatest footballer Scotland has ever produced!
The guy was a magician on the pitch and an absolute gentleman off it, the way he carried himself and how he shouldered the club through the Hillsborough, Hysel disasters was exemplary. Should have been knighted donkeys years ago for that era alone.
It didn't show my favourite Goal of Dalglish, The left foot curl away at Ipswich! I'm Utd and have no problem stating my admiration for Dalglish, You can only hold your hands up to the guy.....
I was a young kid during Liverpool's heyday in the early 80s and what Dalglish could do was just mesmerizing. Platini probably got more kudos as a European footballer in that era but for me, Dalglish was far superior and I wasn't even a Liverpool supporter.
I grew up in the Gerrard era, the way people talk about Kenny is like nothing else. He's not just the greatest Liverpool player, he's one of the greatest people to ever play the game.
At Celtic he was surrounded by some wise old Lisbon lions and Jimmy Johnstone, He wasn’t stepping up much! and he had to learn to live with these guys. Genius purchase for the reds.
You do realize we won at the Etihad and Stamford Bridge last season. The two hardest places to win at. We finished Eighth because the players just gave up on the league after we lost to Arsenal at Anfield.What did we have to play for in the league? We definitely couldn't finish fourth after that loss. That's why the performances in the 1st half in the league and the cup performances were so good under Kenny.. The players had something to play for.
Pfffft. Stop it. Please. Top 5, probably. There were plenty before him who would be held in same regard. Many from before the 70's when I became a fan.
@@iandawson3171 Of course there have been many great players... most who played surrounded by great players. Stevie G did it with the terrible management of benitez and playing with a lot of rubbish teams. He saved benitez and Liverpool for years.
How many goals did he make for Ian Rush,you had to see KD in the ground to understand how intelligent and skillful he was,feel honoured to have seen him play.
Good show Being Liverpool Brendan Rodgers came across as a thoroughly likeable guy. And some nice footage of Lucas Leiva returning to fitness after his injury. Liverpool missed Leiva last season and are missing him at the start of this season as well.
Little known fact. Dalglish was on trial at Liverpool when he was 15/16 and was sent home (apparently shankly went mad when he realised they'd missed him after Paisley signed him). He was also on trial at West Ham. And they sent him home too.
for me Kenny is the greatest player ever , for me no other player has been so consistently good season after season , plenty of world class players have 1 , 2 or 3 good seasons, very few played well every season........
I saw Kenny Dalgliesh in 1970 playing for Celtic in the Scottish reserve league cup semi final at Brockville ( Falkirk's home ground ) This was one of the famous quality street gang. McGrain, Connolly, Hay. Macari etc. There was this chubby No 4 big arsed dirty blond hair playing as a deep lying playmaker. Wow ! he stood out as class even among these stars. He conducted the whole show and had everything two footed, hold the ball, hard as nails. But it was the vision and the passing that stood out. He had football skill all right but he had a better football brain. One instance was when he got the ball and was challenged. Out went that big back side and the player bounced off. Walked it past a further two played and with a player on his shoulder shielded the ball from him for about 10 seconds then made this defense splitting pass on his terms. The late great Jock Stein said ' The biggest problem I had with Kenny was what position would I play him, he would star in them all ' It is one of my fondest and proudest footballing memories to be able to say I saw a genius before most other people had that pleasure.
@@alanbrady3901 What price would a 26 year old Kenny go for now ? 100 million pound Plus easy. Not only would you get a 20goal+ a season player he would make the same again for players around him. It would be a bidding war knowing whoever gets him will have leagues, cups and European trophies guaranteed for the next 7 years. In other words whatever the price paid it would be a bargain. Was I not lucky seeing him at 17 ?
My all time 11 Goal:Reina Defence:Carragher,Hyypia,Agger,Enrique(Best right back to play in England for a while) Midfield:John Barnes,Gerrard,Alonso,Dalglish Strikers:Ian Rush and Torres
Great great player. And I think people r wrong to say he's a bad manager. Yes we're having a bad run at the minute, but we've won a cup and reached the semi final of the fa cup. He can't be that bad. Let's give him another few seasons
Agreed, probably not in terms of title, recently, but in terms of support for the players and managers (besides Woy) we are the bets. We also make alot of money and can attrach top players, like Sahin, still.
@LFCHistory I think he's covering all his bases actually. He's got Sammy Lee still there, he's JUST brough in Steve Clarke. Perhaps if he can get Rush more involved too and a few more players of true quality in, it will be a very different story to Keegan.
@LFCHistory i agree, hes better off having his reputation intact and playing the ambassador role. hes basically in charge of the youth academy, so hopefully the next gerrard, carra, owen or even rooney will most likely play for lfc because kenny will be the one to sell the club to them...a awhile back an old lfc scout wrote a book and said wenger is the one who is most like how lfc used to scout...the good kids are out there, they need to find em!

Un seul Mythe au Liverpool Football Club : Bill Shankly. Ensuite y'a les autres qui se démarquent tel que Keegan, Dalglish, Ron Yeats, Ian St John, Tommy Smith, Toshak, Barnes, Rush, Gerrard.....et bien d'autres. I love le LFC
His signings were bad, but his football was good. Lucas was out last season. Gerrard Suarez, and Agger almost never started a match together, because Evra got Suarez banned, Gerrard and Agger were always injured. Yes some of his signings were bad but he also signed enrique and Suarez himself. With another year Kenny would have challenged for the top our spot. Stevie G himself said he didn't believe the club needed any changes. "Go look it up if you don't believe me."
Dalglish is a good manager. He made mistakes because he was out of the game for so long and wasn't ready for millions he was given to spend. He was more used to big guy, little guy, two winger and CM's who can pass it long. Also he lost Lucas, Gerrard, Agger and Suarez for significant parts of last season. He did sign some good players like Enrique, Suarez, Coates and there's still time for Henderson and there's a slim chance for Carroll. Anyway he was much better that Woy at Anfield.
@LFCHistory Although i wouldnt mind if Rafa came back. They both have different types of playing , and if both of them put their ideas together, there might be some magic going on
Doesnt need to be a scouser to love lfc.im lfc fans from indonesia.lfc have big fans here in my country and i can tell u most of them is not gloryhunter/plastic fans like cfc or mufc fans club
Sacking Brendan Rodgers in December/January would be laughable as well. He needs to be given time to build a squad capable of qualifying for the Champions League.
Good team but out of personal preference I would have Bruce in goal for all-time XI or Reina. I would have Hansen to go with Hyypia at CB. Barnes on the RW. I would have Dalglish on the pitch with Fowler and Rush on the bench as a super sub, just because he's quick, works hard and can score when he wants.
Shame they didn't count asssists back then because i bet he would have led the league in assists. He seemed to create every other goal Liverpool scored.
.....this video is honestly the first time i've ever heard carrager speak. WTFFF it reminded me of the first time i heard gerrard speak, i love both of them to death but when they speak it makes me cringe >.< scouse is such a harsh accent haha. I'm 19 USA fan of liverpool, started watching english football around 12 years old and instantly became a fan of liverpool due to it's amazing players and outstanding fans. it wasn't till later that i discovered the amazing history they had!

@LFCHistory ...maybe yes, maybe no...but far more important is that KK will be a unifying presence at a club thats been dysfunctional for the past 3 years. hopefully now all the internecine bickering will finally stop. if results/performances improve thats a bonus. btw hiring steve clarke was a quality move. err and KK didnt "crack under the pressure of being LFC manager", he cracked under the pressure of being the shouder to cry on for the entire city of liverpool after hillsborough YNWA KK
Its not based purely on what you achieve as a footballer. Marina Dalglish has an MBE like Kenny but for charitable work! I'm not aware that the late great Georgie Best received any honours either and they don't come any better in football! As for Brooking I agree. Must be for something other than football.
Makes me laugh to hear people cringing at Carragher and Gerrard's accents. The fact is that football comes from the working class, and these kind of players typify that. They are just like like the fans... Kenny Dalglish is exactly the same.
Leeds fan here. Daglish was the best by a country mile. Respect.
Deffo the best ever British player. One of the 10 best all time. More importantly, a thoroughly decent human being. Cheers Kenny 🏴🏴
as a Scotsman and a Celtic fan with leanings for Liverpool - I have to say hands down that Kenny is the greatest footballer Scotland has ever produced!
My all time football hero. I love Kenny Dalglish. And he's Scottish like me!
My teenage one, and that’s the keeper : )
Love Kenny... great man, great player, Liverpool legend
The guy was a magician on the pitch and an absolute gentleman off it, the way he carried himself and how he shouldered the club through the Hillsborough, Hysel disasters was exemplary. Should have been knighted donkeys years ago for that era alone.
Well said.
It didn't show my favourite Goal of Dalglish, The left foot curl away at Ipswich! I'm Utd and have no problem stating my admiration for Dalglish, You can only hold your hands up to the guy.....
6 Division one titles, 3 European Cups, 4 League Cups, 1 European Super Cup and 1 FA Cup with Liverpool in 13 years. What a legend.
I feel privileged to have watched this man play
One word: Legend. Nothing more, nothing less.
every scots lad loved Dalglish no matter who your club was
Kenny the best.
So glad I saw him from first match to last ,a joy to watch , great spot by bob paisley !!!!
Not only a great football player but a true ambassador to the game. I don't think anyone who is a football fan would disagree
I was a young kid during Liverpool's heyday in the early 80s and what Dalglish could do was just mesmerizing. Platini probably got more kudos as a European footballer in that era but for me, Dalglish was far superior and I wasn't even a Liverpool supporter.
My god Liverpool were so good back then. King Kenny and all the rest, it was just a great team.
I grew up in the Gerrard era, the way people talk about Kenny is like nothing else. He's not just the greatest Liverpool player, he's one of the greatest people to ever play the game.
The King was the best not just with quantity & quality of goals scored but more importantly with goals created. There is no equal to The King.
Worth remembering when Dalglish arrived very few commentators - and not many fans - believed he could fill the boots of departing hero Kevin Keegan.
At Celtic he was surrounded by some wise old Lisbon lions and Jimmy Johnstone, He wasn’t stepping up much! and he had to learn to live with these guys. Genius purchase for the reds.
That last goal was stupendous!
True Legend!!!!

Kenny Dalglish is the 'King'...
Stevie G will never be bettered. Kept Liverpool going for more than a decade...virtually on his own.
Pfffft. Stop it. Please. Top 5, probably. There were plenty before him who would be held in same regard. Many from before the 70's when I became a fan.

the greatest britsh player that i have ever seen 2nd to george best
Bachittar Singh Lehal George Best was Irish.
For me the best player bitish was Bobby Charlton G Best and Stanley Matthews
Paul's Trip Reports you can tell a northern Irish protestant that he wasn't British if you like . But I wouldn't dare .
Steven gerrard?
and Kenny was Scottish
Im glad Suarez wearing the number 7 shirt, he scored on his debut like Dalglish too!
i luv the the way how he celebrates..:D
for me Kenny is the greatest player ever , for me no other player has been so consistently good season after season , plenty of world class players have 1 , 2 or 3 good seasons, very few played well every season........
Dalglish was a winner as a player and as a manager.
return of (kenny) king!
love that goal a 3:30. thats soo cool to see a finish from there. i think he was so magical that he could make a half chace into a great goal.
We have had a good start I am still bit worried about our progress in the second half of matches we seem to be clinging on I'm glad King Kenny is back
is fucking right, the king has returned to anfield......YNWA
ONE OF MY IDOLS AND HEROES...
Fantastic.
Anyone see Kenny driving Adam to his medical? His personal touch is pure class!
If there's one person who is Liverpool FC it's King Kenny!
