Kenny Dalglish is a former Scottish international football player. He was famous for his successes with Celtic in the 1970s and with the English club Liverpool in the 1970s and 1980s. A prolific goalscorer, he was the first to score 100 league goals in both the English and Scottish leagues. He was recently crowned the 'Player Who Shook The Kop' the most in its history, ahead of Steven Gerrard (2nd), Ian Rush (3rd), Billy Liddell (6th), Kevin Keegan (7th) and Emlyn Hughes (10th).
More recently, Dalglish has also enjoyed success as a club manager: he is one of only three people to have won the English League Championship as a manager with two different clubs. He was also the first man to win 100 caps for Scotland and won a total of 102 caps. With 30 goals, he holds the scoring record for his country jointly with Denis Law.
