A Quote by Jimmy Armfield

Jimmy Greaves and Kenny Dalglish had similar know-how, but Dalglish's knowledge and reading of the game was far superior. He was the most complete footballer in British soccer.

Kenny was actually here at Melwood as a 15-year-old schoolboy. He came on trial and he went home afterwards. It was only later that Bill Shankly realised that Dalglish was here as a boy and he went mad! He said 'how did we miss him?' Kenny just had the football brain. He was born with it and you can't give that to people. He had that natural born talent.

Ian St John

As a young Scottish footballer growing up - I always used to follow Scotland and watch the games - Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, and Joe Jordan were players I looked up to.

David Moyes

Everyone knows what Kenny Dalglish means to Liverpool: he is probably the badge on the shirt.

Pepe Reina

I've grown up with Kenny Dalglish; now, to be signed by him is a massive honour.

Craig Bellamy

Kenny Dalglish is a hero of mine and is the best player to ever wear a red shirt.

Steven Gerrard

Kenny wasn't the quickest of movers but he was 20 yards quicker than anybody else with his football brain and he would be in position before any defender knew what was happening. I've always said the best signing that Liverpool ever made was Kenny Dalglish.

Ronnie Moran

Kenny Dalglish was the greatest to play for Liverpool and Scotland, so for someone like that to sign me was an honour.

Charlie Adam

Kenny Dalglish was absolutely right: anyone that doesn't want to be at Liverpool can leave. Players will come and go.

Pepe Reina

Kenny Dalglish would be my first choice for Liverpool's best ever player because he was a great player with a lot of qualities.

Rafael Benitez

My mum's maiden name was Dalglish, so I have Scottish blood in me.

Rose Leslie

It's a huge honour to wear No 7 at Liverpool. I think about the legends: Dalglish, Keegan and that Australian guy.

Luis Suarez

I subscribe to the theory that reading a book is similar to walking a trail, and I'm most comfortable walking when I can see where I'm going and where I've been. When I'm reading a printed book, the weight of the pages I've turned gives me a sense of how far I've come.

Anthony Doerr

She had lolled about for three years at Girton with the kind of books she could equally have read at home--Jane Austen, Dickens, Conrad, all in the library downstairs, in complete sets. How had that pursuit, reading the novels that others took as their leisure, let her think she was superior to anyone else?

Ian Mcewan

Soccer was probably the most fun game I've played because I never walked away feeling like I had a bad game. If you play a position in soccer where you can out-hustle or out-work or out-prepare somebody, it is a lot easier to walk away from the game and say, I gave it my all. I could always try. I could always hustle.

Stephen Gostkowski

I understand how much everyone wanted to see a British winner at Wimbledon and I hope everyone enjoyed it. I worked so hard in that last game. It's the hardest few points I've had to play in my life. I don't know how I came through the final three points... that last game ... my head was kind of everywhere. That last game will be the toughest game I'll play in my career, ever.
