The Premier League era doesn\u2019t give enough recognition to the legendary players pre-1992, as Kenny Dalglish certainly fits into that category.<\/p>\n

Dalglish became an icon at Celtic<\/a> and Liverpool, from 1969-90, winning trophies for fun, as well as representing Scotland on the biggest of stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regarded as one of the greatest forwards of all time, he was dubbed \u2018King Kenny\u2019 for a reason, including the part he played in helping families who suffered after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. <\/p>\n

Not only was Dalglish<\/a> iconic on the field, but a better person off it, and he recently did an interview with Gary Neville<\/a>, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott on the Overlap, where he discussed all things Celtic and Liverpool<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With three European cups to his name, all for Liverpool, as well as being an eight-time champion of England.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You presume that would be top of his list of \u2018best career moments\u2019, but speaking to Neville on the Overlap, he listed a goal he scored for Celtic in the Glasgow derby against Rangers<\/a> as the best.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dalglish stated that scoring a penalty for Celtic<\/a> against Rangers sits above everything, with his European success with Liverpool and playing for Scotland filling the rest of the top three.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gary Neville: \u201cI am actually going to ask you for your top three moments in your life in football, that you sort of think that sit there (at the top), as a player and manager. I am going to put you on the spot. You have to give us a top three.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dalglish: \u201cScoring a penalty (for Celtic) against Rangers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neville: \u201cNumber one?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dalglish: \u201cThat was my first Glasgow derby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo? Well, winning a European trophy to get a tour of the city. Three, getting 102 caps for Scotland, probably, so a bit selfish, no matter, I am quite happy with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neville and Ian Wright: \u201cThat\u2019s a great top three.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celtic will \u2018always have a special place\u2019 in King Kenny\u2019s heart<\/p>\n

Dalglish won a total of nine trophies in the colours of Celtic, spanning nearly a decade, before his transfer to Liverpool in 1977. <\/p>\n

And Dalglish wanted to make it clear how he feels about Scotland\u2019s most successful club<\/a> to this day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCeltic, for me, will always have a special place because that\u2019s who brought us into football,\u201d said Dalglish.<\/p>\n

\u201cTook us forward. Educated me, and really helped us.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Premier League era doesn\u2019t give enough recognition to the legendary players pre-1992, as Kenny Dalglish certainly fits…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,33718,82468,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-187348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-gary-neville","tag-kenny-dalglish","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
