It was enough that Kenny was one of the greatest British players EVER, but what he did in support of the Hillsborough victims families outshines that. A totally, thoroughly decent man on every level. Modern players can't hold a candle to this man as a role model to youngsters.
Here here well said 👌🏽
Well said sir. There is things I can say but wont, but in my 66 years on this planet I have never seen a better player. There have been those that, under the current spotlight of world football that are widely considered to be better, granted, Messi and Maradona, fuck Ronaldo, he was only and still in it for himself. Dalglish was the perfect footballer, he saw things most dont. Rush would never have scored the amount of goals he did if it wasn't for KD,
Yes I am Hillsborough survivor and what he did for everyone was just another example of what a human being should be like. RIP the 97
@@frankquinn1296 Absolutely. All those who were there that day probably feel the same when it come to Kenny.
@@paulbrown6554 It's hear hear
World class and in his prime, maybe the best in the world. A complete forward and a truly great player. As an Aussie kid, I grew up watching him play and he is one of the main reasons that I am a Liverpool fan today.
not just a player/manager, but also the contribution to Liverpool city as a whole
I.e. Caring Hillsborough victims family and the charity.
Absolutely
The first man in history who didn’t need to wear a crown in order to be a king.
King Kenny: Hero. Gentlemen. Legend.
My childhood idol, and the reason why I wore No. 7 when I played football.
guy was a prick
@@mexicola-cs8gv enough about your da
I understand why some fans might not get it - there's a modern focus on 'tekkers'. But what KK had was amazing awareness and proprioception, sense of space, incredible touch on terrible pitches with a threat of (by today's standards) violence all around you. And he produced, individually in partnerships, and in his teams. Then he had success as a (player) manager, and as a man. Living legend.
How Scotland didn't do more with some of the squads they've had is beyond me. I guess that's how many top teams there were at that time.
Violence 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@grahamd8356 Yep, by today's standards.
George Best said in 1986 that King Kenny was the best and most naturally gifted player he had ever seen, I won't argue with that!
he never said that, he put him on par with di stefano
Everyone outside of Liverpool knows that Best was much better than him tbh.
@@lyrickoner
To be perfectly honest, it's all subjective, one has to base a more factual representation upon how successful were both teams whilst both players were at their respective clubs and did both teams win their respective titles and cups because of each player or in spite of each player?
Effectively a squad player that never gets a first team start and only plays the last ten minutes of enough games in a season to qualify for a medal and who doesn't do enough to have any impact upon any of those games that they come on as a sub in could end up winning medals for every trophy on the table year in and year out, but that team would win those trophies in spite of their being at the club.
Whereas a player like Dalglish who played every game every season who contributes match winning goals that win the title as in 1986 and in finals as in 1978 you can say that Liverpool won trophies because of Dalglish.
I think the only way to genuinely come up with a defiitive answer to who had the greatest impact upon their respective club is to compare decisive goals scored by both players and discount and trophies or medals won by each player where say a final was won 1 - 0 after a different player scored in the final such as in 1981 when Alan Kennedy scored the winner against Real Madrid in the European Cup in Paris.
I believe anyone regardless of what club they support unless they are a bitter United fan would have to admit that Dalglish was the more successful player who had a greater impact in the game than Best.
No money in today's world of football could buy him in his prime pure class. & a gent too
Broke my heart when he left Celtic but Liverpool and Kenny were made for each other.
Celtic fans sang you took a great time to leave us Dalglish when Celtic sold the "Prince of Parkhead" to Liverpool in 1977.
The greatest player to wear the famous Liverpool shirt. The King.
Best British player of all time and would be in my best world team ever.. Beckenbauer referred to him as the finest player he had ever played against!
France football did an all time word 11 and left him out. They did 2 back up teams and left him out. They placed George Best in the third team along with Tierry Henry. George Best is by far the the best british footballer of all time.
My all time football hero and the reason this wee Scottish lassie supports the Mighty Reds to this day. 🏴 ❤
Very, very few come close to King Kenny. His all round ability was second to none
Well it was probably second to Pele. But yeah.
The best player I have ever seen.
Wonderful player, wonderful man.
Best British Player of ALL TIME
If george Best had been British, I'd disagree with you, but he was irish
Never
😂😂so silly
@@GJ1607.yes, best was United Kingdomish 😊
Kenny was all round better!
My boyhood hero. King Kenny❤
As a Rangers fan , at the time when he left i remember saying thank fkk for that because he seemed to score every time cellik played Rangers.Total respect for one of Scotlands greatest players.Sorry one of the world's greatest players i should have added.
He is the player who made me an all time fan of Liverpool. This never changed. Absolutely briljant player.
Tommy was a gentleman.celtic thru and thru.a deeply religious man .but never a bigot.a wicked sense of humour. That's why waltee Smith and mc coist luved him.these daze are long gone. Lots of luv to all.
Best, Dalglish, Charlton. The 3 best we have had on these shores.
Dennis Law.
@@starofdavid9919 indeed, he is in the debate .
@@mallafets Obviously you will get many other views. John Charles, Greaves, Baxter, Robson or whoever, but a certain generation will all tell you that the greatest player they ever saw was Duncan Edwards and that includes Bobby Charlton, Terry Venables and Sir Bobby Robson!
+Greaves surely?
King Kenny!
All that needs to be said.....🥰
KING KENNY! Certified LEGEND.
Even today, he would walk into any team in the world and stroll through any game. A genius, a truly world class player and man
Not bad for a 73 year-old 😊😊
A Legendary Player, A Man of The People, A King Among Men! King Kenny YNWA
Oh he was utterly brilliant, such a quick thinking player, as good as it got
Greatest I’ve seen live Absoloutely unbelievable ❤
In the late 70s and early 80s he was the best player in the world!
Get out more !!
@@neilrose4866 you know nothing it seems
Afraid the 18 year old Maradona gave Kenny and Co the runaround in 1979
@neilrose4866 let's see, he was by a million miles the best player in the best team on the planet at that period! Why do you think he wouldn't be in the conversation for being the best in the world? Also a team was picked of the best 11 since 1970 during the run up to the 82 world cup, he was selected. 😂
Best player to grace Anfield…
The best player to ever wear the Liverpool shirt
It was only politics which stopped him being European Footballer of the Year. It was never awareded to British players. Unless the moved abroad. Kevin Keegan left Liverpool for Hamburg and won it twice even though Liverpool and Dalglish were the best in Europe. He had everything. Apart from the lightening speed of the likes of Mo Salah, or Ian Rush.
he didn't need lightning speed. His reading of the game was exceptional
@@leo1314ok Maybe their is trade off. Because he wasn't fast he developed other parts of his game. Or vice versa.
Will always be the KING 🤴
Greatest Liverpool player of all time.
ALL TIME? That would be since the palaeolithic era then?
Legend The man had I all. Sir Kenny I was there to see it all. Thanks a lot X
My all time hero. King Kenny nothing more needs to be said.
Liverpool fan since 1964 and just thinking about the various strikers we have had over those decades - Toshack, Hunt, Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, Aldridge, Owens, Mane, Salah, Torres, etc. Quite the list - out of them all, Kenny Dalglish and Mohammad Salah are the most complete footballers imo.
Kenny was absolutely brilliant. And a sound skin. Enough said.
20 match going year's on the Kop watching my beloved Liverpool fc( 77-97) i never saw a better player than King Kenny 🤴 what a player! YNWA RIP the 97.
The best all round player of all time so graceful made it all look so easy
I love that the fields back then looked like the Somme 1916.
😅😅😅
Brilliant player but a even better man..all of us from here we all know why, his heart is massive
He was fucking incredible, so skilful he made everything he did look easy. I'm a Man Utd fan but Dalglish in his prime was as good as any British player in history. He scored a goal for Scotland away to Belgium that I will remember for the rest of my days
I was privileged to watch him at Parkhead. His great goal against Dundee United at Tanadice, bent it into the corner of the net from outside the 18 yrd line was amazing, not on this reel. Truly brilliant footballer 🍀🍀🍀
I saw him play about 40minutes for a "Liverpool 11" in John Aldridge's Tranmere testimonial at Prenton Park in 1996. Kenny was 45 at the time and was very slow but man he oozed class. One of the greats...PS. Do they still do testimonials?
I don't think they have them anymore
Similar, he was managing Blackburn when he played a testimonial for Duncan Shearer at Aberdeen. His touch was ahead of everyone else on the pitch, by miles.
Without question our greatest ever player.. Long live the 🤴 YNWA
Ridiculously good, I remember watching him in a legends game and he was still pulling off scarey skills
he was the GOAT
If you want a modern comparison, he was a bit like De Bruyne but a better version of that IMHO
Doesn't even mention scoring the winning goal at Stamford Bridge that secured the 1st Division title as a player/manager
Imagine what prime Dalglish would be worth today
He would be the one player Liverpool couldn't afford NOT to buy.
Goat for Liverpool team, nothing but respect
Number 1 but I am biased both as a Scot and a Liverpool fan. Beyond his playing career he also succeeded as a manager and the support of the Hillsborough families showed him to be a great himan being as well.
The King Sir Kenny Dalglish.
One of the best.
fantastic player-just short of the top,top places.top 150 ever
The finest Ive ever seen , I remember when I was still in Scotland he was our clubs player if the year ,( HURLFORD CSC , KILMARNOCK ) , we drew with Dundee in the League Cup final , I asked him that night to win the Cup for us in the replay , HE DID . From , The GLASGOW CELTIC man , Johannesburg , South Africa . Hi Dan , Im making you famous people from all over the eorld keep asking who you are , HAIL HAIL.
Kenny was and is The King, we stole him from Celtic (my club in Scotland) for £440,000 in 77. He's the King. Kenny... you'll NEVER Walk Alone.
Seen Dalglish often when with Celtic ..Often shielded the baw with his erse ..Won tote on Celtic supporters bus once
when picking out C10 from hat , this when Celtic won 0/1 away up in Aberdeen and who scored the goal C10 was Dalglish :) Ye top player he was for both Celtic and Scotland .
Greatest British player I've ever seen 👏
I'd describe him as Dennis Bergkamp on steroids. Supremely intelligent but far more of leader of men. As a manager, he was exceptional. As a community man, no one excels him and what he means to Liverpool. My favorite sports person of all time. King Kenny. Class.
World class
In honor of Rosemary can we have one on Tommy Burns please
King Kenny!! Still the best!! Amazing player!!
THE KING ❤
He was with no doubt the best player in Europe better than cryf Rummenigge and platini who were considered the best. He possesed the Dribling of cryff the goal scoring of Rummenigge and the vision of Platini.
Amazing player. George Best compared him to De Stefano. Impossible to tell from Kenny highlights which foot was his strongest, top bins on either foot whenever he wanted.
KING KEEENNNNYYY...!!
So good that no one has heard of him outside Europe
Peasant
@@azorbarros3308
Different era. No internet for one thing. You think Maradona didn’t know who he was? Silly comment.
@@kevinmaher9526 My friend, I track football since the first World Cup. Kenny couldn’t be worthy of seeping the floor upon which Leonidas would walk on. Let me put it simply: local bias to an extreme. In a parallel universe in which Ronaldinho had been born in the UK there would be very, very, very strong media push and collective mass belief’ that would claim that he was the best ever, 10x better than Pele, Messi or any other.
@@azorbarros3308 ok my friend. No problem. I don’t swallow anything the media push on me.
Messi, all day every day.
Zizou was great.
But in Britain, at that time, and in the European cup, Dalglish was fantastic. And I am biased. I’m Irish!😂
Sir Kenny was a Rangers fan before he signed for Celtic, one that got away from us. I'd have walked to Parkhead in bare feet over broken glass to sign for them anaw, even as a life long Bear.
I'd have been a Rangers fan again as soon as I left though. 😂 Off course he is entitled to switch allegiance..no issues with that. Best from Scotland EVER and defo one of the UK's best ever.
He was the best even tho i dont like jocks (gerrard a close 2nd)....king kenny rules!!... YNWA❤
Only George Best was anywhere near his level. Best even said it himself.
A God!
"unwavering commitment to the club". Then he left and went to Liverpool.
and so would you.
The best Liverpool player ever,stop this shite with Steven Gerrard being Liverpools best he comes nowhere near ,nowhere ever ,and I support United
@@joemac6796 well said my Mancunian chum!
@@kevinmaher9526👍👍I grew up watching at Celtic and Liverpool and his talent never dropped or wavered….I have to say he has Celtic in his heart but he bleeds Liverpool 👍👍
Greatness can be described in 3 words
Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish.
George Best once said the only footballer that can hold a candle to Alfredo De Stefano is Kenny Dalglish.
Bob Paisley made bad players, good players, good players, great players and great players, Kenny Dalglish.
15 year old Daglish looked about 30. Different era for sure!
Good video but why not sync the audio along with the moments you are describing?
How about a video on Danny mcgrain
Best right back in Europe id say in his prime McGrain .
Thats for sure
Got better as he got older.
He wasn't Keegan's replacement, Liverpool wanted him anyway
We dinnae call him King Kenny for nothing
“Your bird has laid on more balls that Kenny Dalglish”…there you go classic 70’s insult
The goal against Belgium away…
One of the best players in Scottish history. Then just a nod from a proper club in a real league.
Pardon?
Could you do one of these on Kevin Keegan?
Bobby Firminho, Luis Suarez, Kenny Dalglish my top three
That must be an age thing….trust me Kenny is number 1
Met King Kenny Once at the Redhurst Hotel with the hole Scotland team ,he just bought a house for his parents in Netherlee,, besides my mums new house ,right next to Jock Steins daughters house who;s son robbed my mothers house and stole all her jewlery, John ? he was a drug addict then! Then I was 16 years old ,i went up to him and said who i was, he couldn't give a toss who i was, gave me the cold shoulder, ,still chuffed i met him ,still my Hero?
His the reason this Londoner supports Liverpool. Well follows now as I don't get to Anfield these days.😂
At 17 yrs old Kenny realised he would look the same for the rest of his life
He actually grew up as a Rangers fan.
Kenny would be worth over £200 Million in the transfer market compared to today's leading lights.
Never see a player like him again, a true legend.
I watched 50% of his Celtic career and 100% of his Scotland and Liverpool one. He will go down as probably the 5th best Celtic player ever behind McGrory, Jinky, Larrson and Ceasar. Not quite as good for Scotland as he struggled to capture his club form for Scotland. Players like Law outshone him internationally for goals per game and somelike Baxter and Jordan showed more passion for the shirt which is why they were loved by the Tartan Army. However for Liverpool he's probably the best they have had certainly since 1977. He's definitely in the discussion along with Rush, Keegan and maybe John Barnes!
As a man he struggled in the limelight. He didn't want to be centre stage. I saw him @ Charity events where he went because it was duty, but he couldn't wait to get away.
I've been watching football for almost 50 years both in Scotland and England. For me there is the very, very top level where imo you'd find Cruyff, Pele, Maradona, Best, Romario, etc. Then just in behind there's a level where I think you'd put Dalglish. Brilliant player in his day!
I remember my dad being upset he left Aberdeen for Liverpool
What
Haha wtf
The quality of picture is dreadful on a TV !!
He's not called king kenny for nothing. Best player to grace a pitch
Jota has similar qualities..... kinda reminds me of Dalglish
Kenny was an extremely good player. Personally think Gazza was the best
How do you gain the respect of your new fans, score the winner in the European cup final.thats how 🏴
Dalgliesh rush laurenson keegan thompson heighway hansen fowler owen . How lucky have we been
Why did Scotland never do anything with a spine of Dalglish, Hansen and Souness?
to win anything...u need the best 22 players, not 3 great players
