As manager of the club between 1985 and 1991, he led them to unique achievements. Liverpool FC’s first ever League and Cup double was claimed in 1986, with Kenny becoming the first player/manager ever to reach such heights. A further two League Championships and another FA Cup followed, as Kenny went about building one of the most exciting teams Anfield has ever seen. Had Dalglish been just a manager he’d have done enough for the club, but his tenure in charge was preceded by an equally glorious playing career, when his goals, vision and genius helped Liverpool FC to five League titles and three European Cups. In an exclusive new interview, Kenny talks about the triumphs and tragedies that mapped out his 14 years at Anfield. How he led Liverpool FC through the Hillsborough disaster and how the club, supporters and the city shared their grief as one. He reveals how he turned down the chance to join Bill Shankly’s Liverpool as a 15 year old, before returning in 1977 to build a new era at the club and become King of the Kop, creating magical memories for a generation of fans. The tremors caused by his resignation in 1991 equalled the shock of Shankly’s departure 17 years earlier but Dalglish can quite rightly claim his place amongst the greatest servants Liverpool FC has ever had. This is his story.
