A to Z: Sir Kenny scored massive goals

The fourth episode of BBC Radio Merseyside's A to Z of Liverpool focuses on the letter D, specifically legendary forward and manager Sir Kenny Dalglish. Dalglish made 515 appearances across 13 years for the Reds, scoring 172 goals and winning a host of trophies; including six league titles and three European Cups as both player and manager. The team at Radio Merseyside dived into the Scotsman's career and highlighted a couple of his most memorable strikes. "The goal I remember is in the derby at Goodison Park in 1985-86 when he scored in the first minute," Paul Salt said. "Fortunately, it was televised for overseas audiences so there is a record of it. And at that point he wasn't playing as much but that was just a great goal wasn't it?" Carl Woodward added: "Yes, he's one of those players like your Steven Gerrards of this world, your Mo Salahs you'd say who score important, massive goals. It doesn't matter if they're not playing as much or getting older - they still score those massively, important goals. "I know we're fast-forwarding but that goal against Chelsea [in 1986], he wasn't playing much then but he got in the side because Paul Walsh got injured and then he goes and wins the title at Stamford Bridge." After his distinguished playing career, Dalglish held the player-manager role at Liverpool for five years from 1985-1990, when he dropped the player title and continued as manager until the following February when he made his shock resignation. His career became iconic at Anfield, with that crucial strike at Chelsea in 1986 replayed time and again when the club and fans look back at history. "I still think about that goal because it doesn't feel real," Salt said. "You can't script it. You couldn't script the player-manager [scoring the winning goal] and there'd never been a player-manager who had won the league and scoring the goal that wins the title."
