Sir Kenny Dalglish is Mr Liverpool, one of Scotland’s greatest ever players and has raised millions for charity

Sir Kenny Dalglish is revered as one of British football's greatest-ever talents but the man himself is as remarkable off the pitch as he was on it.

‘King Kenny’ racked up countless honours as a player and then manager, but his continued charity causes have meant the accolades have not stopped since he stepped away from the game.

Dalglish and his wife Marina have raised more than £10million for a variety of charities.

The pair have also founded the Marina Dalglish Appeal, which raises money for cancer care.

Dalglish has often used his platform as a Celtic, Scotland, and of course, Liverpool legend to champion his causes — with his achievements, both in attack and later in the dugout unrivalled.

Dalglish won eight league titles and three European Cups as a player and manager on Merseyside after joining for a then-British record £440,000 transfer fee from the Bhoys in 1977.

The Glasgow-born 72-year-old scooped all of his European success as well as six of his eight leagues as Liverpool's star forward.

Dalglish banged in 172 goals in 515 appearances and could do it all to such an extent that he took over management duties at 35 in 1985.

Another three titles and two FA Cups followed but it was four years into his reign that the Scot ensured his name would be etched into not just every Liverpool fan's hearts and minds but in their soul.

Dalglish was Liverpool's manager at the time of the Hillsborough disaster and led both the club and the city through the trauma.

He lived with the letters from the families that suffered from the tragedies and needed a police escort to attend up to four funerals a day.

The emotional toll eventually saw him depart Liverpool in February 1991 — returning to management with Blackburn eight months later.
