King (Sir) Dr Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish

[TurkishDelight]

Pleased to report that Kenny is receiving a well-deserved honorary degree this morning at University of Ulster. Not sure if its his first, but nice to see some more recognition for a man I have the utmost respect for.

 

From the University's programme notes -

 

Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish

(Friday 1 July 2011, morning)

 

Glaswegian Kenny Dalglish, one of the UK’s most

successful football players and managers, is to

receive the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) for

services to soccer and charitable activity.

 

Beginning his professional career with Glasgow Celtic,

he won every domestic club honour a professional

could achieve, as well as winning three European

Cups with Liverpool FC. In the 1980s, as Liverpool’s

player-manager, he led the club with great dignity

through the Hillsborough disaster, which claimed 96

lives. He took over as Liverpool’s caretaker manager

in January 2011 and in May signed a three-year deal

to continue in the role.

 

Mr Dalglish has also been a tireless fundraiser for

cancer charities.
