Kenneth Mathieson "Kenny" Dalglish (Scottish pronunciation: [dalɡliːʃ]) MBE (born 4 March 1951) is a former Scottish footballer and the current manager of Liverpool F.C. In a 22-year playing career, Dalglish played for Celtic and Liverpool, winning numerous honours with both. He made 102 appearances for Scotland and scored 30 goals, making him Scotland's most capped player and joint top goalscorer, the latter a record shared with Denis Law. Dalglish was voted PFA Player of the Year for the 1982–83 season,[1] and in 2009 he was named by FourFourTwo football magazine as the greatest striker in post-war British football.[2][3]

Dalglish began his career with Celtic and became the team captain in 1975. Between 1971 and 1977 he won four Scottish First Division titles, four Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup. In 1977, Bob Paisley paid a British transfer record of £440,000 to bring Dalglish to Liverpool. His years at Liverpool marked one of the club's most prolifically successful periods: he won seven league titles, three European Cups and five domestic cups – achievements which led to him being given the name King Kenny by Liverpool supporters – and he was placed first in Liverpool's list of "100 Players Who Shook the Kop".[4] Dalglish became player-manager of Liverpool in 1985 and in a six-year tenure won three league titles and two F.A. Cups. He resigned as Liverpool manager in 1991.

Eight months later Dalglish was appointed manager of Second Division Blackburn Rovers. In 1995 he led Blackburn to the Premier League title, becoming only the third manager to win the English top-flight title with two different clubs. His move to Newcastle United in 1997 was less successful and he resigned a year later following a mid-table finish. Dalglish was appointed Director of Football at Celtic in 1999 but a stint as caretaker manager ended in an acrimonious departure the following year. Between 2000 and 2010 Dalglish focused on charitable concerns, founding The Marina Dalglish Appeal with his wife to raise money for cancer care. On 8 January 2011, Dalglish became Liverpool's caretaker manager after the departure of Roy Hodgson,[5] and signed a permanent, three-year contract on 12 May 2011.

Dalglish, the son of an engineer, grew up supporting Rangers.[6] Though born in Dalmarnock in the East End of Glasgow, he was brought up in Milton in the north of Glasgow and moved to the docklands of Govan, near Ibrox, home of Rangers also the same place where rival coach Sir Alex Ferguson was born, when he was 15.

Dalglish attended Milton Bank Primary School in Milton and started out as a goalkeeper. He was attending High Possil Senior Secondary School where he won the inter-schools five-a-side and the inter-year five-a-side competitions when he appeared for the Scotland under-15s in a fixture against their Northern Irish counterparts, playing outfield as a right-half and scoring twice. Dalglish played for Glasgow Schoolboys and Glasgow Schools (winning the Scottish Cup), and was then selected for the Scottish schoolboys team, where they enjoyed an undefeated run to win the home nations Victory Shield tournament.[7]

He had trials at West Ham and notably at Liverpool, but they came to nothing.[8] Dalglish instead signed for Celtic, the Old Firm rivals of Rangers.

[edit] Celtic

Dalglish signed his provisional contract with Celtic in May 1967. Sean Fallon came to see Dalglish and his parents at their home. Hearing that Fallon was at the door, Dalglish raced to his bedroom and frantically tore down the Rangers posters on his bedroom walls.[9] In his first season Dalglish was loaned out to Cumbernauld United for whom he scored 37 goals during the 1967–68 season.[10] He also worked as an apprentice joiner.[7]

By the following year he had turned fully professional and was a regular member of a Celtic reserve team so highly rated it was known as the Quality Street Gang, due to its unparalleled production of future Scottish internationals: Danny McGrain, George Connelly, Lou Macari, David Hay and Dalglish.[11]

Dalglish made his first-team competitive debut as a substitute in the 1968 Scottish League Cup quarter-final tie against Hamilton Academical.[12]

It took Dalglish three years to establish himself in the first team. He was in the stands when the Ibrox disaster occurred at an Old Firm match in February 1971, in which 66 Rangers fans were killed in a stairway crush.[4] Eventually Stein gave Dalglish his chance in a benefit match for Kilmarnock defender Frank Beattie in May 1971. The result was 7–2 to Celtic, with Dalglish scoring six of the Celtic goals.

In the 1971–72 season, Dalglish scored his first competitive goal for Celtic, via the penalty spot, in the 2–0 Scottish League Cup tie win over Rangers at Ibrox, on 14 August 1971. He went on that season to score 23 league and cup goals in 49 appearances.

The following season, Dalglish was Celtic's leading scorer with 41 goals in all competitions. Dalglish was made Celtic captain in 1975–76. However, Stein was badly hurt in a car crash and missed most of the season,[13] and Celtic failed to win a trophy for the first time in 12 years.

On 10 August 1977, after 269 appearances and 167 goals, Dalglish moved to Liverpool for a British record £440,000 transfer fee.[14] Dalglish's departure was extremely unpopular with the Celtic fans, and when he returned in August 1978 to play in Stein's testimonial, he was booed by a large element of the Celtic supporters.[15]

[edit] Liverpool

The Liverpool support initially had reservations about Dalglish's ability to replace Kevin Keegan,[16] but Dalglish settled in quickly. He made his debut, wearing Keegan's famous number seven shirt, in the season opener at Wembley, on 13 August 1977 in the Charity Shield against Manchester United, which ended in a draw. He scored his first goal in his league debut a week later on 20 August, against Middlesbrough. Dalglish also scored on his Anfield debut three days later in a 2–0 victory over Newcastle United, and he scored Liverpool's sixth goal when they beat Keegan's Hamburg 6–0 in the second leg of the 1977 UEFA Super Cup final. At the end of his first season, Dalglish had played 62 times, scoring 31 goals, including the winning goal in the 1978 European Cup Final final at Wembley against Bruges.

In April 1980, Liverpool paid £300,000 for Ian Rush, an 18-year-old Chester striker.[17] After he had made the breakthrough into the first team, Rush thrived alongside Dalglish. The pair's goals helped the Anfield club win the League championship and a 3–1 League Cup final win over Tottenham Hotspur, in which Rush scored the winning goal. A year earlier, Dalglish had himself scored in the 1981 Football League Cup Final.[18]

Dalglish was an ever present in his first three league campaigns at Liverpool, his second campaign (1978–79) being his personal best at the club with 21 league goals. He did not miss a league game for Liverpool until the 1980–81 season, when he appeared in 34 out of 42 league games and scored just eight goals as Liverpool finished fifth in the league but still managed to win the European Cup and Football League Cup. He recovered his goalscoring form the following season and was ever-present once again, scoring 13 goals as Liverpool became league champions for the 13th time, and the third time since Dalglish's arrival. Dalglish was voted PFA Player of the Year for the 1982–83 season,[1] during which he scored 18 league goals as Liverpool retained their title; however, after this season his goalscoring record became less prolific, though he remained a regular player.

After becoming player-manager on the retirement of Joe Fagan in the 1985 close season, Dalglish selected himself for just 21 First Division games in 1985–86 as Liverpool won the double, but he started the FA Cup final win over Everton. On the final day of the league season, his goal in a 1–0 away win over Chelsea gave Liverpool their 16th league title.[19]

Dalglish had a personally better campaign in the 1986–87 season, this time scoring six goals from just 18 league appearances, but he was now firmly committed to giving younger players priority for a first team place.

With the sale of Ian Rush to Juventus in the 1987 close season, Dalglish chose to form a new striker partnership of new signings John Aldridge and Peter Beardsley for the 1987–88, during which he played just twice in a league campaign which saw Liverpool seal their 17th title. He did not participate as a player in their 1988–89 league campaign, and made his final league appearance on 5 May 1990 when he came on as a substitute against Derby County F.C.. At 39, he was one of the oldest players ever to play for Liverpool.[20] His final goal had come three years earlier, in a 3–0 home league win over Nottingham Forest on 18 April 1987.[21]

[edit] Scotland

Tommy Docherty gave Dalglish his debut for the Scottish national side as a substitute in the 1–0 Euro '72 qualifier victory over Belgium on 10 November 1971 at Pittodrie. He scored his first goal for Scotland a year later on 15 November 1972 in the 2–0 World Cup qualifier win over Denmark at Hampden Park. Scotland eventually qualified and he went to the 1974 FIFA World Cup in West Germany. Scotland were eliminated during the group stages, even though they were undefeated.[22]

In 1976 Dalglish scored the winning goal for Scotland at Hampden Park against England, by nutmegging Ray Clemence. A year later Dalglish scored against the same opponents and goalkeeper at Wembley in another 2–1 win.

He went on to play in both the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, scoring against eventual runners-up the Netherlands in a famous 3–2 win, and the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, scoring against New Zealand. On both occasions Scotland failed to get past the group stage. In total, Dalglish played 102 times for Scotland (a national record) and scored 30 goals (also a national record, shared with Denis Law).[23][24]His final appearance, after 15 years as a full international, came on 12 November 1986 at Hampden Park in a Euro 88 qualifying game against Luxembourg, which Scotland won 3-0. Unfortunately, Dalglish failed to score. His 30th and final international goal had come two years earlier, on 14 November 1984, in a 3-1 win over Spain in a World Cup qualifier, also at Hampden Park.[25]

Earlier in 1986, Dalglish had been linked with the Scotland manager's job after interim manager Alex Ferguson decided against signing a permanent contract for the job, having been in charge of the team since Jock Stein's sudden death on 10 September 1985. However, the job went to Andy Roxburgh, a long-serving member of the Scotland coaching setup, instead.[26]

[edit] Managerial career

[edit] Liverpool

After the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 and Joe Fagan's subsequent resignation as manager, Dalglish became player-manager of Liverpool and guided them to their first "double" in his first season in charge in 1985–86. Liverpool achieved this historic feat by winning the League Championship by two points over Everton (Dalglish scored the winner in a 1–0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to secure the title on the final day of the season) and the FA Cup, again beating Everton 3–1 in the final.[27]

The following season was trophy-less, but Liverpool topped the league for almost the whole season in 1987–88, although Dalglish's appearances were becoming increasingly rare after he signed Peter Beardsley from Newcastle. Alongside Beardsley, he signed John Aldridge from Oxford United as a replacement for the outgoing Ian Rush, winger John Barnes from Watford and Oxford United midfielder Ray Houghton The Liverpool side had a successful run of 37 matches unbeaten in all competitions from the beginning of the season (29 in the league, 22 wins and 7 draws). The run began on the 15 August 1987 and was ended by Everton on 21 February 1988. Liverpool were crowned champions with four games left to play, having suffered just two defeats from 40 games. However, despite being favourites in the 1988 FA Cup Final, they were denied a second double by underdogs Wimbledon.[28]

Dalglish guided Liverpool to victory over Everton in the second all-Merseyside F.A. Cup final in 1989, but lost the chance to win a second double in the last minute of the final game of the season.

In the 1989–90 season Liverpool won their third league title of their first five seasons under Dalglish's management. It came after a late surge by Aston Villa had knocked them off the top of the table in April, but a strong run during the final weeks of the season saw Dalglish's side win the title by nine points. 1989–90 was also the season that saw the 38-year-old Dalglish play the final game of his career, when he came on as a 71st minute sub for Jan Mølby in Liverpool's final home game of the season against Derby County on 1 May 1990. Dalglish also received his third Manager of the Year award.

Dalglish was in charge of the club at the time of the Hillsborough disaster on 15 April 1989 at the beginning of the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest. The tragedy claimed 94 lives on the day, with the final death toll reaching 96. Dalglish won many admirers for his dignity during this tragedy.[29] He attended many of the funerals as did the other Liverpool players. He is still well regarded by Liverpool supporters for this reason, as well as for his on-field successes. He resigned as manager of Liverpool (on health grounds[citation needed]) on 22 February 1991, just two days after a 4–4 draw with rivals Everton in which Liverpool were pegged back four times. Stating he wished to retire from football, Dalglish left Liverpool FC in 1991, with the club defending their title and still in contention for both the league title and the FA Cup.[30]

Dalglish's Liverpool record so far is: 515 appearances, 172 goals, 307 as manager, 8 League Championships, 2 FA Cup wins, 3 European Cup wins, 4 League Cup wins, 1 European Super Cup win, and 5 Charity Shield wins. He also won a Football Writers` Footballer of the Year award, a PFA player of the year award, and three Manager of the Year awards.

[edit] Blackburn Rovers

Dalglish stated that he was taking an extended break from football. When Sheffield Wednesday manager Ron Atkinson departed to Aston Villa in June 1991, Dalglish was offered the job to manage Sheffield Wednesday but rejected it as he felt unable to work at Hillsborough after witnessing the tragedy there two years earlier.[31] Dalglish surprised fans by returning to management in October 1991, with Second Division Blackburn Rovers, who he led into the Premier League by beating Leicester City 1–0 in the Second Division Play-off final at Wembley. The resulting promotion meant that Blackburn were back in the top flight of English football for the first time since 1966.[32]

The club were owned by steel tycoon Jack Walker who paid Dalglish very well, and also made large sums available to him, thus allowing Blackburn to compete financially with the wealthiest and biggest teams in England, such as Arsenal and Manchester United. In 1992, Dalglish signed Southampton's Alan Shearer for a British record fee of £3.5 million.[33] Despite a serious injury which ruled Shearer out for half the season, Dalglish still managed newly promoted Rovers to fourth position in the first year of the new Premier League. Despite Blackburn's wealth, Dalglish often found it hard to attract big name players to the club, leading to great frustration on his part. The failure to sign Roy Keane was one example: Dalglish and Keane had a verbal agreement but Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson convinced him to join his team instead. Keane recalled that Dalglish was furious at him for the decision, and even threatened to sue.[34]

The club finished two positions higher the following season, as runners-up to Manchester United. United had peaked with a 16-point lead over their nearest rivals by the new year, but Blackburn had drawn level on points with United by early April after the leaders had dropped points in several crucial games in early spring. However, Blackburn then began to drop points as United recovered their form and United finished champions by a seven-point margin.[35]

By this time, Dalglish had added England internationals Tim Flowers and David Batty to his growing squad.

The 1994–95 season saw Dalglish again break the transfer record, paying Norwich City £5 million for Chris Sutton who along with Shearer formed a formidable striking partnership. He had now spent over £27 million putting together a squad that could make a serious challenge for the Premier League Championship. The challenge came and by the last game of the season both Blackburn and Manchester United were pushing for the title. Blackburn had to go to Dalglish's former club, Liverpool, with United having to go to East London to face West Ham United at Boleyn Ground. At the final whistle, Dalglish was able to celebrate: even though Blackburn had lost the game 2–1, news that Manchester United had failed to get the result they needed had filtered through to him via radios in the crowd.

The title meant that Dalglish had been part of nine championship winning sides and the title win also sent Dalglish into the record books once again, being only the third manager in the history of the game to lead two different clubs to top flight league championships, after Herbert Chapman and Brian Clough.

After winning the Premier League, Dalglish became Director of Football on 25 June 1995, with Ray Harford taking over as Blackburn's manager. As the team's fortunes began to slide – Blackburn could only finish 7th in the Premier League and were knocked out of the Champions League in the first round – questions arose about the precise nature of Dalglish's involvement with the club. He parted company with Blackburn, by mutual consent, at the end of the season.

[edit] Newcastle United

On 14 January 1997, Dalglish was appointed manager of Newcastle United, on a three-and-a-half-year contract, inheriting a squad of players reputed, by previous manager Kevin Keegan, to be the best the club had ever had. From a starting point of fourth place in the Premier League on the exit of Keegan, Dalglish guided the club to a runner-up finish in May and a place in the new format of the following season's UEFA Champions League. However, the 1997–98 campaign only saw the team end up in 13th place, though Dalglish achieved some notable successes during the season, including a 3–2 UEFA Champions League win over Barcelona, and an FA Cup final appearance against Arsenal. Dalglish was sacked by Freddie Shepherd after two draws in the opening two games of the subsequent 1998–1999 season, and replaced by former Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit.[36]

[edit] Celtic

In June 1999 he was appointed Director of Football at Celtic, with his former Liverpool signing John Barnes appointed as head coach.[37] Barnes was sacked in February 2000 and Dalglish was appointed manager, and he guided them to the Scottish League Cup final where they beat Aberdeen 2–0 at Hampden Park, and he left the club shortly thereafter. Dalglish was unhappy with the departure and Celtic's termination of his contract. He had recommended previous manager Barnes to the club and offered himself as a replacement manager should the young Barnes not succeed in the role.[38] In spite of the termination of his contract, Dalglish vowed to stay on as Director of football. After a brief legal battle, Dalglish accepted Celtic's settlement offer of £600,000.[39]

[edit] Return to Liverpool

In April 2009 Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez approached Dalglish about the possibility of returning to his former club, with a role in the club's youth academy. This appointment was confirmed on 3 July 2009,[40] and Dalglish was also made the club's ambassador.[14]

When Benitez departed as manager on 3 June 2010, Dalglish was asked to help the club find his replacement. Dalglish was then himself heavily linked with the post, an idea that won strong support among former players and fans. Speculation linking him to the post ended on 1 July when Fulham's Roy Hodgson was appointed manager.[41] However, a poor start to the 2010–11 season led to Liverpool fans chanting for the return of Dalglish as manager as early as 3 October 2010, when the Liverpool team suffered a 2–1 home defeat by newly-promoted Blackpool, leaving them third from bottom in the Premier League after seven games.[42] With no real improvement in Liverpool's fortunes throughout the month (during which time the club was taken over by New England Sports Ventures),[43] calls for Dalglish to return as manager gathered pace.

After a continued run of poor results, Hodgson left Liverpool on 8 January 2011, and Dalglish was appointed caretaker manager of the club until the end of the season.[44] Dalglish's first game in charge was on 9 January 2011 away at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Liverpool lost the game 1–0 due to a controversial penalty decision.[45] Dalglish's first league game in charge was against Blackpool on 12 January 2011 in which Liverpool lost 2–1.[46] After the game, Dalglish admitted that turning around the fortunes of the club would be "a major challenge".[47]

Shortly after his appointment, Dalglish indicated that he would like the job on a permanent basis if it was offered to him,[48] and on 19 January the Liverpool chairman Tom Werner indicated that the club's owners would favour the idea of Dalglish taking the position full-time. Werner stated "He fits the criteria we are looking for. He has been everything we could have hoped for."[49]

He's brought the club together as one. The players and the supporters are all together. It wasn't like that at the start of the season, unfortunately for Roy. But I think Kenny coming in has galvanised the support behind the team again and obviously his record as a manager in the past is fantastic. He's one of the top managers around. He's won four championships.[50]

Jamie Carragher, speaking after Dalglish's appointment as Liverpool caretaker manager in January 2011

On 22 January 2011, Dalglish led Liverpool to their first competitive win since his return as manager, against Wolves at Molineux,[51] and on 26 January 2011 against Fulham he recorded his first home win since his return.[52] After signing Andy Carroll from Newcastle for a British record transfer fee of £35 million and Luis Suárez from Ajax for £22.8 million in the final few minutes of transfer deadline day on 31 January, in the wake of Fernando Torres's £50 million departure from the club, journalists began writing that Dalglish had already cast off the label of caretaker manager;[53][54] shortly afterwards, club owner John Henry seemed to confirm this by stating "It's still early but in retrospect you could not have made, in our case it was very fortunate, but we could not have made a better choice. I know he, for a long time now, has wanted to be in this position, so it's a great thing for the club, for Kenny and for us."[55] Following a 1–0 victory against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 6 February 2011, described by Alan Smith as "a quite brilliant display in terms of discipline and spirit"[56] and a "defensive masterplan" by David Pleat,[57] Henry Winter wrote: "Such is Liverpool's transformation under Dalglish, a reinvigorated team now sixth, it can only be a matter of time before he is confirmed as long-term manager".[58]

On 18 March 2011 formal talks began between the club's owners and Dalglish about offering him the manager's position on a permanent basis,[59] and on 12 May 2011 the club announced that Dalglish had been given a three-year contract.[60] Henry said in a statement "Since returning in January he has shown extraordinary leadership and the ability to bring the best out of so many people associated with the club. It was obvious to us very early on that the atmosphere surrounding the club had been transformed by his presence. No one else could have produced such a response. Therefore, I'm delighted we have agreed to a new contract. We didn't need nor want to look elsewhere for the right man to manage the team."[61]

[edit] Personal life

Dalglish is married to Marina Dalglish. Dalglish's best man at his wedding is another ex-professional footballer, Jim Donald of Queen of the South. The couple have four children, including Kelly and Paul. Kelly is now a correspondent for ESPN UK. Paul followed in his father's footsteps as a footballer, and is a former manager of FC Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Marina is a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed in March 2003 and has recovered well from the disease. In 2004, Kenny and Marina founded The Marina Dalglish Appeal to raise money for breast cancer funding. Paul and Lynsey both participated in the Liverpool 2004 run,[62] Dalglish participated in a Santa Claus Dash; while Aintree and the 1986 FA Cup Final Replay also raised money.[63] After three years' of fund-raising a new £2 million chemotherapy centre for Merseyside was opened at University Hospital Aintree. In recognition of her efforts, Marina Dalglish was awarded an MBE in the 2009 New Year Honours list.[64]

Dalglish often competes in the annual Gary Player Invitational tournament, a charity golfing event which raises money for children's causes around the world.[65][66]

Dalglish spoke on camera regarding the Hillsborough Disaster in March 2009, breaking a twenty-year silence on the event. Marking the twentieth anniversary of the disaster, he expressed regret that the police and the FA had not considered delaying the kick-off of the match; a move which could have averted the 96 deaths.[67]

During the Hillsborough Memorial Service on 15 April 2011, the 22nd anniversiary of the disaster, Liverpool MP Steve Rotherham announced he was to put forward an early motion for the Queen which would see the Liverpool legend knighted for the part he played in helping families of the 96 fans who lost their lives.[68] On 1st July 2011 Dalglish was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Ulster, for services to football and charity.[69]
