I played under both Sir Kenny Dalglish and Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool - they deserve Anfield statues

Liverpool have been urged to commission statues to honour both Jurgen Klopp and Sir Kenny Dalglish at Anfield.

Former defender Jose Enrique, who was one of just a handful to have played under both iconic managers, has opened up on his gratitude to Sir Kenny for his help after he underwent an eight-hour operation to remove a tumour from his brain in 2018.

Enrique played just four times for Klopp, captaining a team against Exeter in an FA Cup win in January 2016 having made 43 appearances for Dalglish following a £6m move from Newcastle in the summer of 2011. During his five years on Merseyside, the left-back was given a close-up look at how both managers operate.

The Spaniard says he cannot compare and contrast their respective styles too much but believes the pair should be immortalised at Anfield in the same way the club have previously paid tribute to legendary figures Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

"With Kenny, it is different because he did it as a player and as a player he won the lot as well," Enrique tells the ECHO. "So that is why he is 'King Kenny'. Both managers were totally different because both eras were different.

"Kenny managed when I was there but when we trained it was more like it was in the past. It's not like now with a lot of ball work and Kenny liked training with the ball, don't get me wrong, but it is different to Klopp, whose training was very intense.

"Kenny, I don't know, they were different. I love both and for me, Kenny was the best manager I ever had because I never experienced Klopp properly
