Do you not find it interesting that English sides dominated the European trophies from the mid 70s til the ban but no English based player won it during this period? Power bases, politics, dunno. He shoulda! Being a Jock probably didn't help.

I do find that very odd. To be fair there were probably no Villa or Forest players worthy (Shilton maybe?) and because we were a team in the proper sense of the word - no individual carried us, we had quality throughout, unlike maybe Keegan's Hamburg. It's easier to stand out in a shit team.

But I guess that doesnt explain Platini winning 3 times as that Juventus side had enough quality to win the 1982 world cup without him.

If he had a fault it was that he thought 3 passes ahead, when everybody was thinking 1. Saw him chip keepers from the left edge of the box and the right edge of the box within minutes of each other (Villa I think). His training party trick was chipping the ball 30yards into a bin, EVERY TIME! Simply, and without question, the best Liverpool Player I've seen, and I'm going back to Sir Roger, the Saint.

I look back as a 38yr old and think to when i started goin the game when i was about 12yr old. 1982/83.  I was privileged to watch him play and he was the greatest player i have ever seen to this day. 

"When he had the ball  he was just so good at keeping the ball and finding a way of breaking down the opposotion, you just knew that he would create something for sum 1 to just tap it in the net."

 mickey robinson is testament to that  ;D !! Seriousley tho,  A Legendary Player. Zidane,Pele and Maradona rolled into 1

he stands out amoung men, an athlete supreme
he proudly rubs shoulders with europes cream
there,s no need to coach youngsters there,s no need to teach
let them see the perfection of kenny dalglish

he strolls through a game in his red and white
a volley with the left foot a chip with the right
a glancing header, another glorious goal
this liverpool genius no defence can control

a body swerves easy a forty yard pass
his all round performance is bursting with class
we liverpool fans can only be pleased
to see the magic of kenny dalglish

there,s been some great names in the anfield past
ron yeats and st john being two of the last
but the trophys at anfield are sure to increase
with a name for the future :KENNY DALGLISH:


I wrote that in 1977 and boy was I right
it,s also got music to it

Here's a documentary from 1986 that gives a nice summary and shows you a lot of the main highlights. It commemorated his 100th cap.

http://rawk.impulsed.net/Kenny_Portrait_of_a_Natural_Footballer.wmv

If you think about it, he was a rare genius to start with, and was gradually refined under the tutilege of Jock Stein and Bob Paisley. He was at Liverpool for a trial years before 77 apparently and he slipped through the net - Shanks was furious, according to Ian St John.

He had a big fat arse, and he used to stick it out to stop defenders getting near him.

Then he used to turn and swerve the ball into the top corner from 20 yards.



That's exactly what I remember of him.   Always on the corner of the box turn, bam, 1-0.  I do feel that Kuyt has a similar arse which he uses to moderate success, not that I'm an arse expert like.

Not forgetting that the UEFA and cup winners' cup were won a few times English clubs in the early 80s too, it is staggering to think that Dalglish (runner up in 1983) was the only English based player even nominated from the mid 70s to the mid 80s.

great vid. Two things I got out of it:

1. Kenny was the best footballer of all time; and
2. George Best was an arrogant bastard.

Dalglish was a very good footballer who was difficult to knock off the ball. His trademark goal was a dart into the penalty area and a dink over the keeper.

Watch the goal here after 5 mins and you'll see what I mean.....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDW4aH6eC0U&NR=1


He was also very good at sliding the ball into the area to put in another player.

Personally I think Gerrard is a better player.

Was he as good as Maradona.......no.

As good as Best.......no.

A great player though.

He was ok.

No pace so he'd have struggled in the modern game. Could barely speak English so he'd have taken a couple of years to settle in like most foreigners and he was a dirty player too, wouldn't have lasted half an hour with todays yellow cards.

Was ok on a wet pitch though on account of him being able to walk on water.
Seen more titles than he can remember...

Gerrard when he retires will either be considered No1 of all time or No2. Depending on who you were bought up watching. Seen them both play over the years and Kenny pips it.

I remember wondering who was going to replace Sir Roger, in fact I don't think anyone ever really did until Keegan turned up.
And that last season of Keegans when we knew he was going to Hamburg and everyone was thinking how are we going to get anyone as good as him. All doom and despair.
And then Dalglish was signed for a record sum and we (or certainly me and my mates) wondering if he'd be any good in English football.
Oh boy, within a month everyone had clean forgotten about Keegan.
Dalglish a King? An Emperor more like it. Great days.

genius doesnt even begin to describe how good he was. In a side with souness, kennedy, hansen, mcdermott and rush he towered above all of them. as a man he epitomises everything that is good about liverpool a team man, modest, straight talking and selfless.

the sheer quantity and quality of his goals makes it hard to choose a handful but my three favorite goals were

v Man Utd 78/79 semi final
v arsenal 79/80 charity shield
v bruges 77/78 european cup final

and for scotland.... v belgium in 82/83 euro qualifiers

beat that.

Extremely clever, with a fantastic touch.
He could also be a bit a nasty bastard, but he was our nasty bastard.

I didn't hear about Liverpool until '89 so I missed out on King Kenny's playing days. I've seen youtube footage and doco's and wow what a player I can see why he's considered our best ever player.

In regards to the nasty bastard comment what did he do to warrant that comment?

What (I believe) Terry essentially means mate is that Kenny could give as good as he got but he
was by no means a dirty player. He could put himself about as well as anyone for the team.

It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

You left out two footed, clinical finisher, incredible footballing brain, unpredictable, creative, amazing passer of the ball.  I'd go along with what Souness said - he was not as good as Maradonna was but he was better than Platini, better than Rumeneige and he's probably in that second tier of footballers behind Maradonna and Pele!  He could do much more than just slide a pass in to set players up.  Gerrard is good but I wouldn't even say that Gerrard is better than Souness and there is no way that Souness was better than Dalglish.  They are different kinds of footballers but if you ask me who out of the three I'd want in my team playing at their prime, I wouldn't even have to think about it.  Kenny is still the best and Gerrard will have to have an amazing end to his career to be considered up there with him.

For skill, athleticism and exhilaration - John Barnes.
For clinical finishing - Ian Rush.
For imposing himself and frightening the opposition to death - Graeme Souness.
For carrying a team single-handed - Kevin Keegan (with an honourable mention to Tommy Smith).

Kenny Dalglish for vision, holding the ball and bringing everyone else into the game. He was all arse and elbows and just wouldn't give up. My favourite moment was against Coventry (see picture). He was sitting on the ball in the penalty area with Kevin Kilcline looming over his back. In one movement he took himself and the ball through Kilcline's legs, beat two men and got brought down for a penalty. You had to see it to believe it! And, of course, Dalglish set himself apart because of his ability as a manager and his impeccable handling of Hillsborough.

Absolutely brilliant that!

Apart from being an absolutely fantastic player for us, what sets him apart is the fact that he won the league with us as our manager (the last time we won it). And like mentioned by Manila Vanilla, he handled Hillsborough really well, talking to the families. And his charity work just makes him a wonderful person.

A couple of times at the match i didn't watch the actual game. just fixed my eyes on kenny and followed
him all over the park.  he was always up to something,always.
he was like the lad over on the local field, 4 years older than the rest and the game was get the ball from
the big lad. no one ever did. kenny on the ball was similar to a six foot lad holding off a 3ft lad trying to punch him,with his hand on his forehead.
magical player, great manager, and a man of the people.
that is a great point,i use to find myself watching him even when he didnt have the ball,he never ever stopped looking and thinking of the next move.
I remember in a derby at woodison when the blues were arguing over a disputed throwin,King Ken took off into space whilst the whole Everton team had frozen in disgust and recieved the ball planting the perfect cross on the foot of rush (i think) for him to slot it.
What a player and a man. bless him thank god we had him and hes still in Liverpool.

He is up there for me.  Of course, he would also have to beat King Billy for the spot of greatest ever Liverpool player.  Saying that, no player in the history of Liverpool (or football) has had seasons like John Barnes did in '88 and '89, so does that make him the greatest ever?  Just be proud that we can have such a debate with these names being banded about!
