Is Kenny really a World Football great?

[Gym Beglin]

Ha, 110 into 91 almost in a day.

I expected 70 something.

[scudger99]

I'm not sure what makes you tick pal, but you seem to be enjoying the attention, negative though it may be.  Fair fucks to you if that's what floats yer boat.

Cunt.

George Best gets mentioned because he was a superb footballer, mate, he was breathtakingly good. I had a George Best video as a kid and all but wore it out. My dad rates Best as the best British player he has seen, that's good enough for me!

 

I am 32 and I was actually at George Best's testimonial in Belfast in 1988 (I wasn't too old). Best was 42 on that day and for when he was on the field he was pretty good amongst some decent names of old footballers.

 

My father who brought my brother & I and who had been watching Northern Ireland since the 60's actually resented Best on that day (and probably for many years prior). He fully believed that Best was so good, he would have been playing top division football in England in 1988 if he had the will power to control his demons and the drink. He pissed his ability up against the wall.

king kenny would struggle in the modern (English) game as do most players/attackers who lack pace.......he was a liverpool/british/european great but not a world in my humble opinion

 

plus he votes tory according to brian reade so he will never be a great IMO lol

Well Teddy Sheringham for one lacked pace and he did okay for himself in the Prem and I think Kenny was a level or two better than him.

 

And i honestly couldn`t see Kenny struggling to much with most modern defenders tbh. If you think the likes of Kyle Naughton, Dawson, Shawcross et al would be too much for Kenny to cope with, well there`s nothing down for you.

 

Kenny also played in multiple world cups for Scotland and is their record goalscorer with over 30 goals and over 100 caps. Funnily enough they haven`t done quite as well since he stopped playing for them.

 

I`m sure I don`t need to remind you he also won 3 European cups and reached another final, quite often playing against teams and players from other countries as well.

[PestiRed]

Kenny. Does. Not. Vote. Tory

[gkmacca]

I never saw Kenny play so cant comment on his ability.

 

I've always had that problem with Mozart.

[littletedwest]

he lacked pace? quality is quality. human dna hasn't changed 0.001 % in the last 100 years. ludicrous notion that what was awesome 25 year ago would be any different now

 

a legend

[Iceman]

is kenny really a world football great?

 

 

[FanchesterCity]

Kenny Dalglish absolutely is one of the greats.

Playing for Scotland didn't help him, but he STILL made it to the very elite of all time greats.

 

If I could pick two Liverpool players of the last 40 years.... it'd be Dalglish and Gerrard, and there's a fair few to choose from, but those two (for me) stand apart.

 

Dalglish is (imo) in the top 20 players of the last 40 years.

[A Red]

George Best was a genius. Kenny was a genius. Suarez is a genius.

 

All 3 have 2 things in common - quick brains and natural ability. None of the 3 is/was particularly quick. If the 3 were playing in the premier league today they would be its best players. End of.

[Jonjo Baldy]

What an utter twat, not even gonna bother with the dignity of typing why he is a great, because its a widely known fact that he is a great. I'm just glad that we have another great in the making wearing the same shirt number.

[MOGLET]

My two penneth. (spelling aside)

 

Anyone who asks the question or even wishes to debate the question, has either never watched him, or indeed seen him play for us or Celtic or Scotland, needs to either shut the fuck up, or fuck right off.

 

KD as a player/player manager or manager or in fact a man, who ever asks the question, is he a legend/world footy great etc????????????????

 

Who ever asked it needs a serious kicking.

 

 

The man is a fucking legend in all respects of the word.

 

From whatever position you are looking from, this is one man, who has earned the right to be admired from any and all aspects of the game, and all other areas of life.

 

From what he did as a player, to what he did as a manager,  to what he did through the worst part of our history.

 

The man is a legend through everything.

 

 

 

End of thread

 

Simple as.

You fucking gremlin 

[Bjornebye]

Also to the whopper above saying sheringham is only one or two levels below King kenny.... Go and take your head for a shit

[spider-neil]

Kenny wouldn't hack it in the modern game because he lacks pace?

Oh dear.

[Major Tom]

He's no Aaron Lennon

[VladimirIlyich]

He was shit. Alongside those other shit players like Souness,Hansen,Rush et al. How on earth did we win all those trophies with shite like that in our team.

[No2]

He was shit. Alongside those other shit players like Souness,Hansen,Rush et al. How on earth did we win all those trophies with shite like that in our team.

I was going to say because we had great managers but the correct answer is obviously all the other teams where really really bad at playing football.

[Cardie]

There's probably the threads of a debate over what qualifies a player as a world class/legendary figure but Dalglish was/is the wrong player to pin that argument on.
