Kenny Dalglish names one person Liverpool fans still have to thank

Sir Kenny Dalglish has spoken fondly about his move to Liverpool and how one man in particular should be thanked for the decades off success the Anfield club has enjoyed for generations.

The legendary Scottish striker left Celtic for Merseyside in the summer of 1977 and never looked back, winning six league titles and three European Cups before going on to manage the club to a league and cup double in 1986 before winning further league titles in 1988 and 1990 as well as the FA Cup in 1989.

And in an interview with Peter Hooton for BT Sport, Dalglish recalled how he first came to Liverpool as a 15-year-old but but not actually sign for the club until 11 years later.

Dalglish, who went onto have two spells in the Anfield dugout, said: " I was down when I was 15 and it was brilliant. I really enjoyed it. I know it was 11 years later when I came back but when I’d made my mind up that I was wanting to go, Liverpool would have been my first choice. And I’m not saying that retrospectively, I’m saying that because I knew what it was like when I came. When I came back down it was just exactly the same. The humility, the humbleness of the people, the city itself was very similar to Glasgow, with two teams - one good, one not so good. And then you’ve got the docks and the industry and people with a sense of humour. It was just perfect fit for us."

The Reds signed their new number 7 for a £440,000 fee from Celtic to replace the departing Keven Keegan. Despite the weight of expectation on his shoulders, Dalglish found the transition to his new environment an easy one and was soon buying into the club's already well-established winning mentality.

"It was fantastic. The first day at training and the players are all looking forward
