Will always be the heart and soul of LFC. Happy b'day King Kenny.
What are those shiny things the players are holding?
Absolute legend. I was fortunate to meet the man/legend myself. An absolute gent and very funny. He once randomly called my brother (who nearly drove off the A41 in shock!) HB KK!
Made us good as a player. Then made us better as a Manager. Then helped us out when we were in trouble.
He deserves all the accolades he gets as well as a lot more birthday's.
Quite apart from football he and his wife have helped a lot of people. If ever there was a role model he is it.

LOVE THIS.
I'll bet most, perhaps all, of us instantly knew whom the thread title was referring to, whether or not we remembered today's the Royal birthday.
Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish. Simply the best.

That smile! Sums up what football should be about at any level.
Has anyone got any stories about meeting him? I'm sure loads of people on here have. My brothers story about him calling him is a cracker. Apparently his boss was at a charity golf thing. He was chatting away to Jockey and the King when he suddenly said "Dave (my brother) would give his left nut to be here chatting to you two. He's a massive LFC fan" To which the King replied "Have you got his number? I'll give him a call" and so he did. My brother was on his way to some conference when his phone went off in his car with the King on the end of it. My brother said he was well funny - Pretending to ask my brothers boss for a raise and more holiday etc. They chatted about Rodgers then Jockey took over the phone said a quick hello and that was it. Thing was of course he totally didn't have to do that but it completely and utterly made my brothers decade. He was in a daze all day. A true legend 😎
I've been in the same room as him a few times and said hello once, think, but that's about it. It's more than enough for me.
I met him when I was about 12 in the car park at Anfield. He was wandering over to his car with Aldo. My Uncle went nuts and dragged me over to him. I was completely starstruck. My uncle told him that when I went to the hairdressers I asked for a 'Kenny Dalglish' haircut (which was true 😳) Aldo pissed himself. They shook hands with my Uncle and the King ruffled my hair and gave me a grin and a wink and off they went. Many years later I sent him a copy of his autobiography and asked him would he be so kind to sign it. I said I didn't expect any freebies so I made a donation to the Marina Dalglish foundation. He not only signed it - he wrote a lovely little personal note in it for me. A treasured possession for sure. 🙂
