A tribute to Kenny Dalglish on his 60th birthday !
a true hero, legend, father figure to all associated within or outside liverpool football club. as a fan, i see kenny as liverpool fc itself ! i was born on 1977 the year where liverpool won its 1st trophy in europe. i grew up watching rush, barnes, steve nicol, aldridge, fowler, mcmanaman, mcmahon and many more donning liverpool colors. but my memories are much fonder during kenny's era as the manager. although i was very young and didn't really understand football but i was always amazed on how beautiful liverpool played.
the ball will always be moved around from the back to the middle of the park and to the wide players. they will then cross the ball and there he is .. ian rush to finish the move. that has always been a liverpool trade mark to me!
things didn't really go well for liverpool fc after dalglish left but my heart is still with them. i always hoped that one day the king will return and i will be able to see, understand and appreciate his work at lfc. the moment finally came when NESV and co-owner john henry decided to appoint kenny dalglish as the caretaker replacing roy hodgson.
as the years gone by and i grew older i understand more about football. kenny's appointment as the caretaker manager is also my second chance to see and observe closely on how the king works. his man management, his knowledge about football, his way answering all the questions from the press is all fantastic moments for me. the king is liverpool football club and liverpool football club represents the king.
i do hope his biggest birthday present on his 60th year is to be handed a full-time manager of liverpool football club. i wish him all the best and hope to beat manchester united this weekend. they might win the 19th title this year, but i'm pretty sure they wont be winning anymore league titles as long as kenny dalglish is the manager of liverpool fc. happy birthday kenny dalglish !! YNWA !!!
