Anyone under 40, perhaps younger, won’t be able to fully appreciate the legend, the quality, the stardust of Kenny Dalglish. And I say that as a non Liverpool fan. A genuine legend of our game.
Awesome footballer..one of the very best British players, my one of the top 10 British players..
100% agree
@@kailashpatel1706 hate to do this but you're correct and wrong at the same time , Scottish 🎉
@@kamenrob8500Scottish is not British???
@@frankmachin5438no....Scots is Scots.
In my 50 years of supporting Liverpool, the closest I've seen anyone come to emulating Sir Kenny was Luis Suarez. Unfortunately for Suarez, he lacked Kenny's character and professionalism.
Only over one season 2013-14. Kenny was different gravy for Celtic and Liverpool and Scotland
I was always Kenny Dalglish when playing in the playground at school.
no you wasnt, i was!
@@freespeechoneeach 👍🤣🤣🤣
Broke my heart when KK left Celtic for Liverpool in 1977, one of the best I’d ever watched play.
There are few if any, Celtic players I have such affection for. Watching Kenny as I grew up, was such a joy. The happiness on his face on scoring a goal, is how every player should be!!
aye same here.
I had the pleasure of watching Dalglish from day one of his Liverpool career. It's hard to describe just how good he was. People say that he wasn't the quickest, but mentally he was 10 seconds quicker than anyone else. He knew what he was going to do long before he got the ball. The thing that stands out for me though is his love of playing. His work rate was incredible, and he left everything on the pitch, game after game. You can only do that consistently if you love what you're doing. And when he scored, his face would light up, it would light up the whole support. Kenny would be great in any era.
I agree spent the summer worrying now that Kegan had left. Saw sir king Kenny score his first kop end goal and your right
As we cheered his goal he looked up with that big grin and some how the level of our joy went up.
I broke my neck in karate [thanks to sensi billy Higgins saved my life] night before Paris final I was paralysed so the nurses pushed my bed
Down the ward cranked up the back of the bed so that I could watch the match. I was drifting in and out but managed to catch the goal. Weird
Wanting to jump up and down to scream and you can’t move. Never been to a game since. But my first game with my dad was 62-63 season. Age 3
And my last drive will go past the ground one last time.
@@garygalt4146Dogleash is not even in the top 10 of great British players
The aftermath of the Hillsborough Tragedy opened my eyes personally to Kenny and Marina.
Kenny Dalglish was absolutely immense for Liverpool, won everything and was and still, our greatest ever player! Sublime! YNWA!!
And 3 League Titles & 2 F.A Cups & 1 League Cup as manager. The King of Liverpool
brilliant he was ynwa
@@andrewdavy9921 🤦♂️
Bergkamp is probably the most similar player I've seen to Kenny. Was never the quickest, but had amazing intelligence, vision, first touch and a knack for the seemingly impossible. When you listen to other players from that era talk about Kenny, there's nothing but admiration and praise.
Great shout.
Yep, was thinking of Bergkamp myself.
The thing is, I’m not sure if either player would compete in todays game. Simply because of lack of pace.
Yes buddy Bergkamp what a player as a Arsenal man he’s the best and I love King Kenny 👍🏴❤️
@@chriswood1661Kenny wasn’t slow at all
@@Collier990RHCP In comparison with the players now, he was a f***ing snail mate.
I recommend anyone who loves football, try and find clips of Dalglish playing in the 82-83 season in particular. He was just immense that year, at his absolute zenith, and some of the skill he produced throughout that season was as good as you will see from any individual in any season, and after more than 40 years, I still haven't seen anyone do better (possible exception: John Barnes in 87/88). But he also fitted those skills into the ethic of the team flawlessly, and that was why Liverpool won the title in an absolute canter that year.
Dalglish's greatest asset was his football brain. Any time he was taking on a defender with back to goal at the edge of the area, you could always see his mind was at least two moves ahead of the defender's, and that was what made the Liverpool attack gel around him. A lay-off to a midfielder, or a driven switch-of-play across field, or a quick turn and through-ball to use Rush's pace, or a sudden 180-degree turn on a sixpence and well-timed snapshot at goal. He could do any of them, and therefore defenders could never predict which one he was going to do.
I rate Dalglish above the over-hyped Platini, hands-down.
Dalglish was truly world class and was incredible for Liverpool. Three European Cups for Liverpool.
And 3 League titles & 2 F.A Cups as manager
@@matthewjamison absolutely
just loved watching him, even against my team !!!!!
Im an Everton fan, and over the years have seen some truly fantastic players in the flesh.
Players like, Henri, Cantona, Bergkamp, Rooney etc, but Dalglish was something special.
For me, ive never seen better.
Don't think he can be rated above Henri, different type if players but Henri was a class above
Henri and Dalglish were different types of players. Dalglish’s time and consistency at the top sets him apart. He was a wonderous player for close to two decades.
@@GerryT. I'm not knocking Henri, or his achievements, but Dalglish was incredible.
Take a look at some of his highlights Gerry, you will be a convert for certain.
@@pleasantville4529 I've seen Dalglish over the years, yes he was a great player, but in my opinion, although Henry was a different kind of player, he was about Dalglish. Of defenders were asked who they feared most it would be Henry for the majority of them.
@@GerryT. Today, pace is everything, and Henry had it in abundance, but in a time when pure skill was important, Dalglish was the best around.
We will never agree mate, so let's leave it there.
Just one more thing to add.
Have a merry Christmas.
I say this as a manchester united fan Dalglish os truly one of the greatest to have ever played the game
King Kenny is a living legend such a one of classy man & successful player & manager in the game.
over 100 league goals in Scottish 1st Division over 100 league goals in English 1st Division nobody else was closecto him .
Kenny Dalglish was a Rolls Royce of a player .. Probably Liverpool's greatest ever player
I'd always say Gerrard
@@keanu8642 You might be too young to remember Kenny Dalglish
Dalglish made his debut for Celtic at the age of 17 in 1968 and left at 27 on 1977. While he saw his peak years at Liverpool, it is often forgotten just how much of his career was spent at Celtic. He was already captain and a veteran player when he left to join Liverpool. He replaced Kevin Keegan - a brilliant player in his own right - but few Liverpool fans knew then what Celtic fans already knew: King Kenny was even better.
Good point. I always forget that he was already 27 before he got to Liverpool
He was 26 but that's just splitting hairs. Will always be a Liverpool legend not just for playing but for managing and Hillsborough but his career and stats at Celtic were already in the great bracket.
Kenny is the reason I'm a Liverpool fan
Why u support sun
Me too
And me
Watched dalglish in his Liverpool days. He was simply superb.
As a 56 year old liverpool fan, who was fortunate to be growing up when Dalglish was playing, I have to say he was and still is our best ever player and that takes into account Gerard and Salah. I always tell people if he was playing today he'd still be the best player in the Premier league....
Had king kenny been English or any other nationality then he would have been mentioned in the same breath as all the other world legends who are regularly talked about. He was a genius and an absolute superstar. He was bought to replace keegan and no one thought he would be able to… but he took Liverpool to a whole new level and people soon forgot about keegan. Very much underrated outside of Liverpool…and he was an incredible person who was an example throughout the hillsbrough period where he was going to all the funerals of all the fans who lost their lives. He’s better than a sir, he’ll always be king kenny
One of the top tier LEGENDS!
Mention of Keegan. People forget that Keegan won the Ballon'Dor twice, 78 & 79. A world class superstar left Liverpool and was replaced by Dalglish. Dalglish is rated as the best Liverpool player of all-time by the fans. The man was exceptional and I would like to know how many assists he set up for Rush and others back in the the day. However, Souness made that team tick. A far better footballer than Keane, he was like Kante, Viera and Gerrard rolled into one. What a player.
I think it was Kevin Kilbane who referred a story from when K.D. was at Blackburn and was at the Academy. Started asking the forwards if they're keeping track of the shadows and not even the Junior Coach knew what to say and afterwards said that wasn't abything that would ever be in training. 99.9% of players simply cannot do first touch and keep track of opponent shadows (positional sense) at the same time.
I became a Liverpool fan as a wee boy as Kenny was my favorite player
Sourness is extraordinary, he leaves Jordan speechless
I’m 58 and remember watching Kenny play live for Celtic as a kid but it was watching him on Match of the Day being Liverpool’s best player in a superb team was such a joy to behold. He was also brilliant for Scotland. A genuinely world class player and probably in the Top 10 of all time.
top 10 british possibly
@@nigeltrivass4128 Best, Law, Charlton, Keegan, Rush, Rooney, Gascoigne, Bale… Kenny was better than them all.
@@JamboLinnman mate you are in a small minority if you truly believe that.
@@nigeltrivass4128 OK then.
@@nigeltrivass4128 Kenny was the greatest player the British Isles have ever produced, apart from George Best.
Was sat next to a Liverpool fan on the plane about 10 years. He was in his 50's, had a Liverpool accent so asked him which team he supported, he replied that he was a red and season ticket holder for many years. So asked him who the best player he'd seen at Liverpool, he replied Keegan, Barnes, Gerard were all great players but he said it's pretty common knowledge amongst older Liverpool fans that the best player seen at Anfield is Kenny Dalgish.
Kenny Dalglish one of the best football strikers

My first game at Anfield as a kid was watching Liverpool put 7 past Ipswich. King Kenny and David Johnson tore their defence to bits.
I was at that game, night match if I remember, sat in the kemlyn getting bruised knees
Best British footballer ever.
Kenny was Brilliant but George was Best
In my humble opinion KING KENNY is the best player ever to wear the LIVERPOOL shirt.
Some player! Fantastic talent
As an Englishmen and having definitely no allegiance to Scotland or Liverpool (spit), he was immense and a great sportsman to boot.
Even though rush scored more, Kenny made them happen. Vision, timing, guile,
determination are all what made king Kenny KING!!
King Kenny - simply the best and what a gentleman of a sportsman too who has a record of achievement hard to rival! Well done Sir Kenny 👑 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 ❤
If Kenny was english there would be statues everywhere,that Liverpool team..Hansen,Souness and king Kenny the Scottish contingent that was the back bone of that team.Shankley another Scot that laid the foundation's for the year's to follow.
Whats also legendary is Simon's contribution.
Loved that ! Watched him as a grew up amazing memories and times my Dads all time favourite
King isn't a big enough accolade to you Kenny, a true credit to yourself, your family to the cities of Glasgow and your home Liverpool, what a man, not enough words can describe what I and everyone at our club and surely worldwide think of you, for me to be able to watch you play and manage and see what you've done for the club, the city, the honour is mine and I'm sure I speak for LFC fans and all true football fans in the world, Thank You, Sir Kenneth Matteson Dalglish, The King ❤YNWA
Simply the best player to play for Liverpool ever for me, outside of football has done some amazing work
nice seeing jim and simon sitting there so enchanted listening to graham's stories re dalglish
He could bend it in on either foot from either flank, amazing dribbling, power, presence and that deft touch. He was a cheat code.
Even all these years later it sounds as if Souness is in awe of Dalglish
Dalglish and Rush. My god, what a partnership. Devastating.
Not one of the players mentioned on here could lace Kenny's boots!!!. He was unique a one ofc and a very, very player. He's one of the few players who would get into ANY World 11!!!. As a Celtic and Liverpool fan ive had the honour to watch him weave his magic time after time. He could change a game on his own he was that good. Any one of us would score 40+ goals playing up front with Kenny. Sir Kenny Dalglish was a Master of his craft and a role model for all young people wanting to make it in football.
Yes! Dalglish is one of the rare players who made everyone else better by virtue of being on the pitch. And his colleagues at the pool were pretty good to begin with. The only way to stop him was to prevent him getting the ball which opened up space for everyone else. What a nightmare for a defender.
Not just a great player but a great man. The way he handled the fallout of Hillsborough was exceptional.
Speaking to my best mates Dad, I asked him who the best Liverpool player was he had ever seen and he said Dalglish. He said he was even more talented and a better player than Stevie G. That how immense he was.
You should believe your best mate's dad because Dalglish was that good. He was a genius.
😊He was certainly better than Gerrard. He was, without question, the best player at Liverpool when they were, without question, the best team in Europe. Dalglish was a genuinely world-class footballer throughout his entire senior career. He was an even more iconic figure at Liverpool than Gerrard. He was without doubt the King of the Kop. He made the Kop forget all about Keegan in weeks. And that’s all from a Celtic fan. 🍀
Never could understand why Denis law did not receive a knighthood. He was immense for Scotland and part of the great holy Trinity at Manchester United.
If sir king kenny had of played for Utd then he would be spoken about in the same way as George best and sir Bobby charlton. Absolutely no doubt about it. He was just special and he performed at the highest level with bells on
Simon doing his best to not interrupt
Dalglish was the best of the best… football IQ he was a genius, with his back to goal and vision exceptional, scored goals, created goals and he was tough and durable… Kenny was a prolific winner wherever he played or managed he is the King!!!
If there's an exception to the saying "nobody is bigger than the club", King Kenny is as close as it gets.
I saw Liverpool's glory days in the 70s and 80s and I say to everyone if Kenny had not resigned in the way he did back in 1991 (and anyone with an ounce of human compassion would have done the same thing) Man United would not have got a sniff of any league titles, he was that good as a player, player/manager and, then lastly, as a manager.
kenny was immense for his country and the clubs he played for greatest scottish player of all time
No he wasn't,Denis Law was.
@@jameshall6061behave
@@jameshall6061No chance. Dalglish was a far superior player and achieved more
Clownworld Numbskull,Dalglish 102 caps30 goals,Law 55 caps 30 goals.
@@jameshall6061 Law was an out and out striker. Kenny wasn't. If you threw assists into the mix, those stats would look a lot more one sided.
sir Kenny Dalglish was my boyhood hero.I was lucky enough to be at the 1979 charity shield as a young boy and he was just magnificent. I’m 55 now and the man is a footballing god and no, I’m not a Liverpool fan.
As a youngster growing up in the late 70's early 80's Kenny Dalglish was worlds apart from anybody else in the league at that time. Dalglish wouldnt have been out of place in a worlds greatest 11. He was easily on a par with the likes of Zico, Platini, Boniek he was that good. Not even comparable to Keegan, Kenny was levels above. Well done Kenny, you deserve the accolades for your contribution to our wonderful game. This West Ham fan will never forget your standing in the game! 👏👏👏
Arguably, Dalgleish signing for Liverpool must be the best signing for any club.
Greatest Liverpool player ever. Actual GREATest. A Titan on and off the pitch.
I was a wee bit young to have seen George Best but Kenny Dalglish was the greatest player to play in a Liverpool shirt
The first and original Firmihno style False 9
He was streets ahead of most players on the pitch
A wonderful footballer who could look after himself in a dirty, scrappy game
That’s why I don’t like female commentators or pundits because you lose stories like this, incredible great to hear
Im sure his daughter Kelly has some great stories she could tell about her dad. 🙄
@@del9705 who?
@@del9705and I can tell you a few stories about Kelly! 😊
He won it all in Scotland, replaced the best player in England, won it all and again as a player, won the double as a manager, only man alive to have managed two English clubs to league titles, and did it all with a smile 😁
that’s why he’s King Kenny 🤩
boro fan no association with Liverpool but Daglish was a wonderful player and even better man, him and the two Robsons, Bryan and Bobby were the best we had.
In the history of football, when has the manager scored the goal that won his team the league? Dalglish did. Thats why he is the greatest.
That’s just a lovely tribute from Souness, even Jordan didn’t want to interrupt.
Simon knew there was nothing he could add so he just listened and took it all in .........Respect !!
I can't remember Kenny ever having a bad game, he was constantly brilliant.
I personally think that Graeme was the greatest Liverpool player there has been. Liverpool won 12 major trophies between 1978-1984 when he played for them. He gave Liverpool a psychological edge on the pitch which almost guaranteed success. Ian Rush said that going onto the pitch with Graeme in your team was like going into a school playground with your big brother.
He was as important to Liverpool on the pitch as Sir Alex was to Man Utd off the pitch. Both clubs owe their success to these two.
Icon.... Dalglish.... One of One 👑 💯
The two best players ever to play in England are George Best and Kenny Dalglish
If you were to do a Mount Rushmore of British footballers you would have Best, Dalglish, Charlton and Charles.
King Kenny was world class I worshiped him when I was a boy
You don't get labelled king for nothing they did it with elvis Kenny was without doubt the king of anfield great player I remember when Liverpool sold keegan and people was saying he will never be replaced well Dalglish was that replacement
Great player Kenny, my grandad loved him.. Although in 1981 Zico's Flamengo battered them in Tokyo. Technical football was different class to the English style.
Not sure Liverpool took that game too seriously and they weren't prepared in my opinion. But yes Zico & Flamengo pasted Liverpool.
Him and Ian Rush were dynamite together..
King Kenny. My Hero ❤⚽️
"King Kenny walks on water" spraypainted everywhere when I was growing up.
A hero. I was fortunate enouh to meet King Kenny. An absolute privilege!
He is totally deserving of this accolade
Souness focuses on what I always thought made Dalglish unique - ball to feet in the box and he could turn the defender and get off a shot. Only other player I've seen like him was Gerd Muller but I didnt see him that much. Of course there was more to his game than that byu that was what put him the highest class.
I had the privilege of growing up as a young boy in the 80's and watching Kenny play, albeit as a player manager so not at his peak best but he was bloody good.
World class is banded about in football too easily and often. Kenny Dalglish was pure class on the pitch and off it!
Souness and dalglish my hero,s growing up.
Souness hard as nails
Dalglish was absolutely brilliant from a united fan
the greatest player for LFC ever and the best british footballer since Best
George Best compared Kenny to di Stefano and said “that is the highest compliment I can pay him”.
As a Celtic fan,what he did for the city of Liverpool should never be forgotten, my hero
King Kenny is a football legend before the word legend was invented. And it's not the on field success that granted that title. Its what he did for the people after Hillsborough. It broke him so much that he was never the same after. No other footballer or manager has sacrificed so much at his own behest.
An absolute Scottish icon and hero ❤️⚽🙏
I remember reading the Daily Record when he moved to Liverpool and he was asked will you be the next Kevin Keegan he replied no I am going to be the next Kenny Dalglish.
Yes Liverpool stole him from Celtic for a song as they say
Please use his proper title it is and always will be King Kenny 👏
Brilliant and best 6 minutes from Souey on Top player / Top man King Kenny .
Liverpool have had great players my favourites are Stevie G and Johnny Barnes Michael Owen wasn't bad either
Absolute legend...its as simple that tbh
Grahame, love your Debra work 👍
Not enough time for his achievements 😊 great stuff.
Good health and mirth to all 🙂🤣🤘🕊🇬🇧
I think he had a 3D 360' picture in his head, the passes he made looking down at the ball or the floor were amazing.
🍾 Sir Kenny
King Kenny - my first and foremost footballing hero!! Shift of balance off both feet, great timing in the air and so intelligent with his vision and positional play…probably Scotland’s last genuine world class player, along with maybe Souness & Hansen ( arguably ) 👍
I was extremely lucky to have dinner with Kenny , what a very funny man
Arguably best british player ever. The best player of the most successful team in British football history.
Dominated europe and english football
That title belongs to George Best
@@paulmichaelrichardson6582No Kenny was better.
@@paulmcnamara9272 behave
@paul best is absolutely in the conversation and possibly the best however kenny won much much more and was the elite played in that liverpool team plus best retired at 28
Jordan is speechless, he's not going to pay tribute to a Scottish player or sportsman.
Kenny should have won the Balon Dor. If he wasn’t Scottish, I fully believe he would have done.
He didn't, because the English game was resented in European circles during his pomp. Was as good as anything in the world between 76-81. Alan Simonsen in 77? Joke.
Best and Dalglish are the two best ever British players.
Dalglish was a great player domestically no doubt. Unlucky not to win European footballer of the year between 79 and 83 he was the best player in the country.
I’m a city fan but kenny is a legend tbf
