After a successful career as a player for both Celtic and Liverpool, Kenny Dalglish was given the opportunity to move into management in 1985.
He was appointed as successor to manager Joe Fagan who retired after the Heysel tragedy. But Dalglish's playing days were not over, and as player manager he won the Double in his first season in charge.
Dalglish hung up his boots in 1987 at the age of 36. He signed John Barnes, Peter Beardsley and John Aldridge to help strengthen the Liverpool attack.
The tragedy of Hillsborough in 1989 deeply affected Dalglish and the pressure of top level management forced him to resign in February 1991.
Dalglish went on to manage Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, before a brief return to Celtic as Director of Football.
Then, in 2011 the new Liverpool owners sacked Roy Hodgson and called upon Dalglish to return to the club as temporary manager. The appointment was obviously a popular one with the fans and it is good to see The King back at Anfield once more.
