"They were after medals. It suited me fine" | Kenny Dalglish extended interview | The Boot Room Boys

[@Cartierian]

Absolute legend, I was unfortunate not to be alive in the 80s to witness the success Liverpool had but to hear the stories of this man and what he’s done for the city of Liverpool and him as a human being, there’s no better person that deserves the title of a legend than King Kenny. YNWA

What’s he done for the city ?

@@nealefrancis9094 His actions after the Hillsborough disaster, going to all of the graves of the 96 at the time, now it’s 97. He’s a man of the people and for everything he’s done for Liverpool football club, from player to then manager to now ambassador of the club.

I first saw him live playing for Celtic then, after he moved to Liverpool, every week of Match of the Day. Also saw him many times playing for and scoring for Scotland. What a talent… one of the best players from these islands. I was also married in the same church as he got married in!

[@FOTOMOTOGP]

I had the greatest time of my Liverpool support when I was fortunate enough to get tickets for the Liverpool directors box; I think it was 1988 at Charlton. I remember going to have a chat with Kenny as he was rounding up the players to leave. When I got to him he was on his own and I didn’t know what to say. I just said “ When are the players going “. He said” I’ve just told them we’re leaving now”. I was so in awe and couldn’t find any words to say. I just said “Okay” and walked away. He was my hero and I missed an opportunity to have a chat, but at least I had that encounter. He was a quiet man with a great presence.

[@TheLastSongbird124]

I was 8yo when Shanks arrived and by the time I was 10, I could listen to him talk all day. It was the first time in my young life that I consciously admired someone, I was mesmerized by him and his attitude that players were there to play for those fans standing in the ground watching the games was totally genuine in him, that´s what he believed and pretty soon so did we :) Absolutely loved the man and the influence of him is almost sowed into the very foundations on which Anfield is built! Never should anyone underestimate what that man did for LFC, its fans and the city itself. In my 70s now and Shanks is still my all time hero.

Won over 30 major trophies and scored 173 goals and countless individiual awards. 100 caps for Scotland. Great goalscorer and elite creative player. Scored great goals and created even better goals.

I see a lot of similarities between Klopp and the great managers of the past . Humble , hardworking and honest men , who were great at getting everyone involved to share their vision . Liverpool have their superstars , but I don`t see them as "big heads" - unlike many other clubs . As Kenny says , the continuity isn`t there , like it used to be . Clubs just aren`t structured like this anymore .

[@Spidey-2002]

A record just went recently. Once Henderson left liverpool in 2023 it brought the end to the association of players who have played with and been signed by Kenny Dalglish for Liverpool. 1959-2023. Dalglish played with Callaghan in 1977. Callaghan (Liverpool record appearance maker) made his Liverpool debut in 1959. His influence at Liverpool is from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s players. No man has ever had an impact as big as that

Always find it ironic when Liverpool “fans” have the audacity to slander Scotland/Scottish football when the Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 have done more for Liverpool FC than ANY other nation! (including England) The reason why Liverpool are where they are today is because of figures like Sir Kenny Dalglish, Bill Shankly, Graeme Souness, Alan Raisbeck, Alan Hansen, Gary McAllister, Steve Nicol, Billy Liddell, Ian St. John, Andy Robertson and more! Not to mention Virgil Van Dijk made his name at Celtic who brought him to British football and gave him his first taste of playing for a big club! Yet they’ll quite happily slander our game... Ironically Ben Doak has signed for Liverpool from Celtic today, another talented young Scot who could go on to have a great future at Liverpool! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
