      Fully deserved for a very modest man.

      It would've made sense a long time ago.

      Always be King Kenny to me.

      And me. I don't particularly agree with the honours system but it's more than justified and in true Kenny style he sees this as a recognition for all the people from his family to his supporters, fellow players and coaching staff. No man on this planet embodies this club greater than him but he does so with no sense of self importance or hint of thinking he's better than his fellow human beings. To the King!

      Fu....ck me they finally fookin caught on! I don't think it can be said enough times, about fookin time!!!!!!!! The man should have been knighted long ago for the weay he carried himself post Hillsborough regardless of his immense footballing achievements.

      Brilliant news.

      Had my head buried in Ofsted prep for the past 6 hours so this is welcome relief! It's gonna be a shi...te weekend!

      Whilst I agree with the news,  Bill shankly and I'm not too sure, Bob Paisely only recieved the MBE/OBE .
      Total travesty, as mentioned before. a Thatcherite cover up.
      Justice for the the 96 was only proved until 'she' died. We are not thick, we know the truth.

      Agreed.

      CONGRATULATIONS.

      The really deserving recipient for all he has done for Liverpool Football Club and the relatives of the 96.





      Liverpool and Scotland legend Kenny Dalglish has been knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

      The 67-year-old, who won the European Cup three times while playing for the Reds and later managed the club, said he was "humbled but gratified".

      He was also recognised for supporting Hillsborough victims and his charity work with the Marina Dalglish Appeal.

      "I thought it was a tax bill," Dalglish told BBC Radio Merseyside. "For the family, it's a huge honour."

      He said: "It won't make any difference to me, I'll just maybe need to change my passport!

      "But just because we're a wee bit embarrassed about it doesn't underestimate how pleased and proud we are to have received it.

      "I hope everyone who came into our lives enjoys it as well."

      Dalglish is the only sporting figure knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.

      Born in the east end of Glasgow and the son of an engineer, Dalglish made his Celtic debut in 1968. He won four Scottish league titles and four Scottish Cups before joining Liverpool in 1977.

      In his first season at Anfield he scored the only goal in the 1978 European Cup final, and also lifted the trophy in 1981 and 1984.

      Dalglish won six league titles as a Liverpool player, scoring 172 goals in 515 appearances.

      He became player-manager in 1985, and was on the touchline for their ill-fated FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough on 15 April 1989.

      Ninety-six Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush in the away end of the ground.

      Dalglish helped support the bereaved families and made sure the club was represented at the funerals of all 96 victims, attending many himself.

      Having won three titles as Liverpool manager, he left in 1991, leading Blackburn to the Premier League title four years later. He also managed Newcastle and Celtic, and had a second spell as Liverpool boss from 2011-2012.

      After his wife Marina recovered from breast cancer, they set up the Marina Dalglish Appeal in 2005, and the charity has raised more than £10m.

      Kenny was made an MBE in 1984, and Marina in 2009.

      In 2011, relatives of the Hillsborough victims called for a man they call 'King Kenny' to be knighted.

      Their wish has been granted.

      Know what you're saying mate and I agree entirely but I think our man is too respectful to give the establishment the big finger.
      After saying that though there isn't anyone more deserving,

      THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^

      My thoughts exactly, It is long overdue probably by a couple of decades +, Kenny has too much dignity to tell them to Ram it,
      He'll still be King Kenny to us as always and I'm pretty certain he'd prefer to be called just  'Kenny'  without the Sir in front.

      Congratulations all round , No one deserves it more !!

      Kenny is one of those persons that you have to admire, what a person. I’m sure this means a lot to him and it’s totally deserved.

      Have to wonder how it took them this long.

      Congratulations (sir) King Kenny, this is long overdue as has previously been said.
      The guy is a gentlemen and will not 'give the finger' to the the establishment even if they think he deserves it. As a former player, Manager and now a Non Exec. Director I cannot think of a single living sportsman who deserves it more for their services to one club/team

      About fu**ing time...

      Pure delighted to hear this. The most deserving of this award. A truly incredble person. Hell do what Kenny always does and say its for everyone. But my God dioes he deserve it. If one person deserves to share it its is beautiful wife Marina. Aarvellous lady.

      Just delighted.

      Glad he mentioned his former managers and mentors Jock and Bob because they did deserve such an award for what they achieved.
      Lady Marina Dalglish also has a nice ring to it and she herself has worked so hard for others she alone deserved recognition.
      I hope the Queen recognises she is knighting Royalty when she meets Kenny.
