Exactly the same! My heart jumped when I saw this bumped up!

The King.

 

Quite simply the finest footballer I've witnessed.

I supported this team when I was a boy, they most often played in red. Liverpool they were called.

 

The No.7 was a player called Dalglish. I knew, because my dad told me, that he was the greatest player ever to play for Liverpool; “he’s even better than Wor Jackie” he used to say with a smile. He was Newcastle United until his dying day, but he knew a footballer when he saw one.

 

We discovered together, in those most tragic of days, that this greatest of footballers was also the greatest of men.  
 

It was wonderful last night to see him enjoying a team worthy of him, led by a manager worthy of him. 
 

Like all of us, I’ve been fortunate enough to see some fantastic players in a Liverpool shirt. None as good as King Kenny though.

Dalglish was a genius. You only get a glimpse of how great a genius he was from looking at the old clips. He was an astoundingly clever player, just breathtakingly brilliant.

Absolutely this.

Said in a million times but still think he was massively underrated as a manager. 

At a time when doubles were rare, we were inches away from 3 in 4 years and he built one of the greatest teams ever seen.

One of the few young managers to do well at a big club even upto today.

Never really gets the credit for that

To think he was only 35 the season we won the double.

Also tough as they come and one of the best shielders of a ball that I have ever seen.

Looked like he was doing a bit of sit down dancing at the end as the boys sang I'm so fine.

'I FEEL Fine'. Coh! They forget so quickly!

Yes. And so clever. When he was playing floodlit matches, he'd watch for the shadows to tell who was coming towards him and from what angle, so he'd move off before they reached him, wondering how the heck he knew without looking.

Probably been posted but I love Bob in this

My first memory of Kenny (live) was, on the Kop, my dad laughing at how the hell he out-jumped the yard-dog centre half, Willie Young. Not skill that time, just fucking determination. Fightingest bastard!

“It was the same thing round and round and round. On phone calls, it was: ‘I think you should go.’ To my face it was: ‘You’ll start every week’. It was mixed messages. He was messing with my head. I lost respect for him, to be honest. He used to phone me up and tell me I was a wonderful guy, and would I like to go and see Tinie Tempah live at the Arena with him - and then he'd not phone back and go with someone else. It was disappointing, to be honest.

That's an unflattering photo of her; she really is lovely.

Even though I’ve posted it a million times, I still laugh my head off at Andy Carroll getting dressed up waiting for a phone call that never arrives.

In his Tinie Tempah T shirt and oversized foam hand saying ‘number one fan’ on it? Crying into his Newkey Brown.
