Dalglish signed for Liverpool in August 1977 for £440,000 from Glasgow Celtic. The player came in to replace the outgoing Kevin Keegan and any worry that Liverpool would be the overall loser was soon forgotten when he scored on his league debut and netted a total of 30 goals in his first season. To describe Dalglish as simply a prolific goalscorer though would be missing the point and being unjust to the rest of his overall play. Kenny could hold the ball up magnificently and buy enough time for the rest of the players to catch up play or he could open the defence in an instant with a defence splitting ball. His vision for the pass was superb and was complemented in time by Ian Rush. His superb ball control was complemented by a world-class footballing brain. He may never have been the fastest in terms of pace but if speed of thought had been an Olympic event Dalglish would have been a record gold medal holder. He really was an on-pitch visionary who could spot an opening that the naked eye of most would never see. Also his trick like all great players was he never fell over or got pushed over, always was able to stay on his feet . Such was Dalglish's skill at holding on to the ball that, years later, the former Arsenal and Republic of Ireland defender David O'Leary would describe trying to rob him of possession as ''impossible.'' He crouches over the ball, legs spread and elbows poking out, said O'Leary. ''Whatever angle you come in from, you're liable to find his backside in your face.'' Dalglish scored the winning goal in 1978 when Liverpool retained the European cup, the first time it had been done by an English Club. Dalglish also scored the goal which won the league championship in 1985-86 which was to prove the first half of the double in his first year as a player manager at the club following the resignation of Joe Fagan. Kenny Dalglish though will be remembered as a Liverpool player or otherwise as King Kenny.
