When you're watching the Premier League, which footballer do you identify with the most? In life, are you a hard-nosed John Terry, a metrosexual David Bentley, a wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve Steven Gerrard, or perhaps a John Carew who has a penchant for lap dances? As a child, I identified with Kenny Dalglish when he played at Liverpool. Click to continue reading...

Last Saturday, Ryan Babel probably enjoyed his best moment in a Liverpool shirt. Scoring a long-awaited winner against Manchester United is not enough to put him among the greats of the club, no where near, yet it will be remembered for quite some time.

The manner in which his shot went in may have been blessed by a touch of good fortune yet credit is due for both his positioning and calmness in a situation that could have easily seen the ball hitting those at the back end of the Kop. Click to continue reading...

Shay Given has spent almost his entire career at Newcastle United, and is the best goalkeeper ever at the club, shading Ronnie Simpson, who after leaving Newcastle in 1960 went on to Celtic and Scotland fame. Shay Given - in brilliant form this season Kenny Dalglish brought Shay in from Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 1997 [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool have won their opening two premiership games for the first time in a staggering 14 years. Yes, you read that right: 14 years.

The last time the club achieved this seemingly rare feat was back in the 1994-95 season. Roy Evans was at the helm; club legends John Barnes, Jan Molby and Ian Rush were still going strong; Phil Babb and Neil Ruddock were in defence (*shudder*); Kenny Dalglish managed Blackburn to an improbable Premiership triumph and Robbie Fowler scored 31 goals in all competitions.

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has lauded the signing of Robbie Keane and believes his versatility will be an asset to the Reds' attack ahead of the new season.

Keane signed from Tottenham Hotspur for an initial £18 million, a fee criticised by many, though his quality has been hailed as well and it is expected he will be what Liverpool need to push on and mount a genuine Premier League challenge. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool's roll-call of magnificent number sevens includes legends like Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish and Peter Beardsley - and Robbie Keane is determined to add his name to that list.

Ever since Keegan arrived at Anfield in the 1970s, Liverpool have enjoyed their most successful periods when the number seven shirt has been filled by a dynamic playmaker capable of raising the team's play to a higher level. Click to continue reading...

Kenny Dalglish possessed more talent and dedication than any other British footballer of the last 50 years, argues Kevin McCarra.

The names Kenny Dalglish, Ian Callaghan and Kevin Keegan come to mind when you recall legends that put on the red number 7 shirt at Anfield of the years.

Robbie Keane is relishing the prospect of teaming up with Fernando Torres after completing his £20.3million move from Tottenham to Liverpool.

Keane, the 28-year-old Republic of Ireland captain, agreed a four-year deal at Anfield after undergoing a medical at Liverpool's Melwood training ground and could now establish a mouth-watering partnership in attack with Spain striker Torres. Click to continue reading...

Good Bob Paisley was laid to rest in his parish churchyard yesterday as Liverpool supporters respected his family's request for privacy, and there were fewer than 100 gathered outside when the simple coffin, adorned with red and white roses, was carried into St Peter's, Woolton. There will be a more acclaiming memorial service in the city in the spring. Click to continue reading...

The new amateur football club AFC Liverpool has been backed by Liverpool FC managers past and present Rafael Benitez and Kenny Dalglish.

Following in the footsteps of Ajax and Bayern Munich, Liverpool repeated as European champion in 1978. This time they did it by continuing their dominance over Borussia Monchengladbach, who they defeated in the 1977 final and the 1978 semifinals, and over Club Brugge, who they defeated in the 1976 UEFA Cup final and again, 1-0, in the European Cup final at Wembley Stadium, with Kenny Dalglish providing the winning margin in the 65th minute.

For Reds of a certain generation, those who like me grew up in the eighties and who are too young to really remember Kenny Dalglish as a player, there will always be one true legend: John Charles Bryan Barnes. A legend that was born twenty one years ago when he signed from Watford for £900,000.

Former Rovers hero and current tepid pundit Alan Shearer is edging closer to the Ewood Park hotseat and, according to Blackburn stalwart Tony Parkes, he could do a good job - he could even be the next Kenny Dalglish!

Liverpool FC has missed out on signing many great players over the years, but the most regrettable missed opportunity is arguably Danish maestro Michael Laudrup. The club had two chances to sign this footballing magician, but sadly failed on both occasions. Why did the Liverpool miss out and what impact would Laudrup(theoretically) have had on the club?

Few British players have been as succesful abroad as Michael Robinson. The former Liverpool striker joined Osasuna in the mid-eighties and has remained in Spain ever since, going on to become one of the most respected football journalists.

Robinson has never made any secret of his support for Liverpool so he has been more pleased than most to see so many Spaniards at the club, giving him more reasons to talk about the Reds. Click to continue reading...

In an endearing piece in the Daily Mail today, summer acquisition and winger extraordinaire, Ryan Babel, has revealed that he owes a great deal of gratitude to Rafa Benitez for his tremendous start with the club.

Apparently when Babel was at Ajax, he would let outside interference (a.k.a the crowd) affect his play, so much so that he would become 'depressed on the pitch'. Click to continue reading...
