Kenny Dalglish - a 5 live Sport special

Date: 16 November Time: 19:30-20:30 GMT Coverage: BBC Radio 5 live

The first thing you notice about Kenny Dalglish is the handshake. It's like being held in a warm vice. The second thing is the smile, which you notice more because this one you weren't expecting.

The Dalglish grin is a big one, crinkling his eyes, slow to leave, especially when he's talking about Liverpool, the city and football club, and Glasgow, and a life that linked the two football-obsessed cities together.

Three years from his 70th birthday, Dalglish - voted Liverpool's greatest ever player and the most capped Scotland international of all time with a share of the record for the most goals scored - is the subject of a new biopic, which is in turns stirring and self-deprecating, gently humorous and inextricably defined by tragedy, just like the man himself.

Anyone know if the coverage is just on 5 Live? The radio coverage is presumably just a commentary on the film? If so, does anyone know when the film is to be broadcast?

[Medellin]

Read that earlier & is defo recommended.

Wasnt sure where to put it & posted that link in the KD Stand thread earlier, would be good to merge the posts since.

Can’t wait to grab a copy. The one thing I just don’t get... Liverpool celebrating an amazing birthday, yet there’s no blu ray release on the complete history of the team... I would have gladly paid for such a thing.

Thanks for the heads up lads, that was brilliant. Great contributions from Tony and Robbo too. Had a lump in my throat through most of it.

Kenny Dalglish: ‘As long as we’re living we won’t have closure on Hillsborough’

In a wide-ranging interview to coincide with the launch of a film about his life, Kenny Dalglish opens up about the tragedies of Hillsborough and Heysel but also the joys of football at Liverpool and Blackburn

[Flaccido Dongingo]

What a man, one of my all time heroes in football and life, how he hasn't received a knighthood yet is beyond me.
