Quite simply the best player i ever seen in the Celtic hoops, broke my footballing heart when he left for Liverpool. I had a bitterness n love for Kenny that's lasted a lifetime. And im going to go a step farther by saying in my opinion the Greatest player the United Kingdom s ever produced, there has been none better than King Kenny.
news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/2245965.stm It's all subjective but personally I think that there have been a few better than Dalglish @ Celtic. Jimmy McGrory, Jinky and Larsson for me, all better players for Celtic. Some also voted Lennox and McNeil ahead of him. Like I say, it's all opinions.
@@jamesmorton4443 Quality and Class never go out of fashion. All three fit that description, I share the same religious denomination as all three, But as 10 year old, King Kenny was my footballing hero, what a player.
Denis Law is one of the games greats but 1. He was an out and out centre forward 2. 9 of his thirty came in three hat tricks against the titans of Northern Ireland and Norway. It's just a shame the two of them didn't play together cos that would have been phenomenal.
@@jamesvickers5998 I was too young to see King Denis play but from what I'm told by people 60+ in Scotland is that he is the greatest ever Scottish goalscorer. As for Dalglish he didn't always make the transition from club form to International. Apparently almost a quarter of his goals came in Friendlies!!
There would have been no Denis Law if it weren't for Bill Shankly. Bill Shankly gave Law his first ever start as a 16 year old for Huddersfield in 1957. So Man United can take absolutely no credit for Law, he played for Man City and Torino before Man United.
@@alslevie1986 Sir Matt was Shanks's mentor so by your logic Liverpool can take no credit for anything Liverpool went to achieve with Shanks and as we all know , Shanks laid the foundations for everything any Liverpool team have gone onto win so absolutely no credit can be taken by LFC.
What a player - I remember seeing him play for Celtic and they beat my team 8-1 - and we had a good side! They were unplayable at that time. I remember the Athletico Madrid game as well - kicked Jimmy Johnson in particular off the park....
Why did you have to ruin this bringing up stupid comments like that stupid stupid wee boy , I'm not a Celtic fan btw and it seems nor are you just a loser who throws in the odd daft comment
I saw the Lisbon Lions play many times and I saw Kenny play for Celtic many times over many years . For me , Dalglish remains the finest Celtic player I have seen . Jimmy Johnstone was a great entertainer and Henrik Larsson and Bobby Lennox were goal machines , but Kenny Dalglish was my favourite of them all . Btw , Kenny did play in THAT match ( 5-0 v Clyde ) where all the players wore number 8 on their shorts.
Wow thats some compliment to say kenny is better than all those players mentioned, Must of been fantastic to see him in his early days, im sure celtic will be back stronger next season (LFC fan) HH 👍
Telling like It was at the time as Atletico did have basically an away team to defend and normally an attacking team at home that's kinda how the Spanish & Italians and others played It in the old European cup. and It worked back in the day .
@@robertskillen1887nd? Many Celtic legends are Protestant and are widely welcomed as a club open to all regardless of religion. Rangers on the other hand... Narrow-minded and second best. 🥂🏆
And they talk of men like Pele and the great Eusibio and even Stanley Matthews who played so long ago he even beat the Belfast boy we George was second best or Johan Cruyoff not on your life wee kinky was the best !!!!!!!! FTQ
Why are you the way you are, David? What drives you? Really though, what is it that causes your brain to work the way it does? What explains what it is you are, David? Cheers
Great player, but not a warm or friendly man. Always uncomfortable @ public events which was sad really for those kids who worshipped him and who just wanted a picture or autograph. Please note, I know things took a toll on him while @ Liverpool but I'm talking way before that time while @ Celtic. I met him on numerous occasions @ charity events. His personality reminds me very much of Gordon Strachan. Aggy, ultra sensitive, sarcastic and moody. None of the Leeds players enjoyed Strachan's company while he was there. They avoided him as much as possible. I was told this by Chapman, Jones, Sterland, and Kamara. Bobby Charlton is similar to Dalglish. Not a natural people's person, but he did at least sign an autograph for a 7 yr old kid, albeit grudgingly!!!
@@harrymiller3445 That 7 yr old kid was me. And he wasn't happy about signing it although tbf he wasn't representing the club at the time. He was out walking his dog by Lymm dam!
When I, aged 13, was playing for a youth team in Cumbernauld, Johannes Edvaldsson and Paul Wilson were supposedly coming to present us with medals for winning a prestigious local trophy. They let us down at very short notice. We then turned to Kenny, who turned up exactly as he said he would, presented the medals and was great with all the kids, coaching staff and parents. He is/was not (as he admits in his book) a naturally confident person, and probably uses/used some of the standard coping techniques. Neither is uncommon nor a crime, especially in people of his background thrown into the limelight.
Both Kenny and Jim Baxter the greatest players Scotland ever produced broke my heart a few times playing with Celtic knowing he was brought up supporting the gers we missed out badly then legend.
