One of the best football pictures ever of one of the best footballers.
LEGEND.
And I'll miss his interviews too. Refreshingly different and honest and hilarious.

Dalglish said: "It has been an honour and a privilege to have had the chance to come back to Liverpool football club as manager. I greatly appreciate the work that Steve, Kevin, the players and all of the staff put in during my time and feel proud that we delivered the club's first trophy in six years winning the Carling Cup and came close to a second trophy in the FA Cup Final.
"Of course I am disappointed with results in the league, but I would not have swapped the Carling Cup win for anything as I know how much it meant to our fans and the club to be back winning trophies.
"Whilst I am obviously disappointed to be leaving the football club, I can say that the matter has been handled by the owners and all concerned in an honourable, respectful and dignified way and reflects on the quality of the people involved and their continued desire to move the football club forward in the same way as when they arrived here.
"I would like to thank all of the staff at the club for their effort and loyalty. I said when first approached about coming back as manager that I would always be of help if I can at any time and that offer remains the same.
"Finally, I want to put on record my heartfelt gratitude to Liverpool's fans, who have always given me and the club their unwavering support. Without them neither the club nor I would have achieved anything."

We had a bad season, and we won a cup after a long barren run, and should have won another. Most of us were positive and felt we could improve and push forward. Now we've set a precedent. If you don't finish 4th, you're finished. Forget the cups, forget it all. 4th or bust. It's not about winning anymore, it's about money. Positive? I'll never stop loving this club - but it won't be the same love of that kid who idolized Fowler, or the same love who saw the man he called 'The King' return.

If Rafa isn't his replacement, will you shut the fuck about him ?
Because, you know, that's done.
What is it with May 16. Now you are PMS-ing as well? Go fight with a Pigeon outside your gaff would ya. Forgive me for remember our last big success fondly.
HE'S ALL YOU TALK ABOUT YOU BORING BASTARD !
Hardly old chap. But don't let that stop you from going on,
Me too bro
I'm not in the slightest bit optimistic
Everything is shit atm. And it probably will get worse.
But God damn it I'm optimistic.
Why?
Fuck knows. The unknown is rare in football these days. Everything is predictable and a bit jarg. There's every chance we could surprise some people. Perhaps our underdog nature will help us over the next few years.

Kenny Dalglish has urged Liverpool supporters to get behind American owners Fenway Sports Group.
The Scot, 61, was sacked as Reds manager on Wednesday after owner John W Henry and chairman Tom Werner decided the Merseyside giants needed a fresh approach following a disappointing campaign.
Liverpool finished eighth with their lowest Premier League points tally of 52, although Dalglish did guide them to Carling Cup glory and an FA Cup final appearance.
Domestic cup success was not enough for Fenway though, with Werner insisting a change of manager was needed as they aim to restore the glory days at Anfield.
But many Reds fans are unhappy with club legend Dalglish's departure and believe he should have been given more time to turn around their fortunes.
"I would hope nobody would prejudge things now," said Dalglish. "The owners have their own reasons for doing what they have done.
"They came in to help the club at a time when it wasn't in a great condition. They have improved it, taken it forward and are doing the best they can.
"Liverpool is still a great football club, still a club that should believe in whoever is going to come in after myself.
"The supporters, not just for myself but for everyone else, have always been fantastically supportive of the team and that should not change."
Criticism has also been levelled at Dalglish about the quality of players signed in a £130m spending spree since his appointment in January 2011.
But he has defended his transfer record, which included the big-money transfers of Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson.
"You cannot underestimate the pressure that is on a boy who comes to play for Liverpool," Dalglish told theLiverpool Echo.
"But in the first year, what they have done has been a credit.
"There is now a great foundation to build on and to move forward with.
"Taking aside the decision made about myself, for four players to be in Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2012 and for Jordan Henderson to be on standby as well is a great credit to the players.
"It's fantastic for the club and those players - and I hope they go on and represent everybody well."

if we get klopp i couldn't give a shit and neither should kenny. he said from the start he'd stand down if it's in the best interest of the club.
and in that respect, it troubles me that kenny didn't take the chance to resign when asked to. it doesn't seem like he was willing to stick to what he said when he joined.
did he really. that is fucking epic if true.
Tony, what do you mean? There's no agendas on this site, or axes to grind (or Mexes thankfully)

Also I would like to thanks King kenny for everything he is done for me during his time as a manager.

Overwhelmed by support of the fans. Always been special but even more so now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. YNWA and I never have.
