Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish received a knighthood at Buckingham Palace on Friday for 'services to football, charity, and the city of Liverpool', reports the Mail Online.

Born in the East End of Glasgow, Dalglish began his playing career with Scottish giants Celtic in 1969 and went on to win four Scottish league championships, four Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup with the Hoops.

In 1977 though, then Liverpool manager Bob Paisley paid a British transfer record of £440,000 to bring the forward to Liverpool in order to replace Kevin Keegan, and the Scotsman immediately took over the number seven shirt.

Dalglish's time at Anfield will forever be known as the glory days, and his trophy cabinet would have been filling nicely with six English league championships, the FA Cup, four League Cups, five FA Charity Shields, three European Cups and one UEFA Super Cup.

The now 67-year-old then went on to become player-manager of Liverpool in 1985, winning a further three First Divisions, a FA Cup, and four FA Charity Shields, before managerial spells with Blackburn and Newcastle, before returning to Liverpool in 2011.

King Kenny, as he became known by Liverpool fans, also supported the families of the victims of the 1989 Hillsborough Stadium Disaster and he has raised more than £10million for charity after founding The Marina Dalglish Appeal with his wife to raise money for cancer care.
