Liverpool dream team: Best all time starting 11
By Kris Whelan
RM- Kenny Dalglish
Yes, I know he’s a forward but ‘King Kenny’ can play where he wants and would no doubt be a terror for the opposition regardless of his position. Dalglish is synonymous with Liverpool FC, and though I wasn’t lucky enough to see him play in his prime, I never grow tired of watching highlight reels of his glory days.
The third Scottish player to feature in this dream team played 515 times for the club, scoring goals for fun and winning trophies season after season. Kenny won six League titles, three European Cups, one FA Cup and three League cups.
"“Kenny had unbelievable vision and strength as a player. He was really aware of people around him. He had great balance and was a good finisher, courageous too. People often forget that the one quality great players need is courage. Kenny is as brave as a lion. He would take a kick from anyone and come back for more. Kenny is a man I shall always respect.” – Sir Alex Ferguson"
Hi first season at the club set the tone for his career, scoring 31 goals including the winner in the European Cup final. Not too bad for the man people feared wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure of a big club. Dalglish would represent the club for a total of 13 years, he then went on to manage the club to great success.
His name goes hand in hand with Liverpool, such is the impact he had at Anfield. He is a regular sight on Merseyside and still supports the club with a burning passion.
