1977: KENNY DALGLISH signs for LIVERPOOL | Grandstand | Classic BBC sport | BBC Archive
Спорт
King Kevin is gone, long live King Kenny!
Liverpool FC have broken the British football transfer record by signing forward Kenny Dalglish for £440,000 from Glasgow Celtic. Dalglish has been bought using the money Liverpool received from Hamburg for Kevin Keegan, and despite the record fee manager Bob Paisley thinks it represents a good deal for the club.
Dalglish has met club captain Emlyn Hughes and his new teammates, who are preparing to face Liverpool's great rivals Manchester United in the Charity shield.
This clip is from Grandstand. Originally broadcast 13 August, 1977.

I always thought of Bob Paisley as a kindly Uncle figure and what a manager he was. He achieved incredible success and will be remembered for helping lay the foundation for the history of this club that we are so proud of today. Little did we realise how big a signing that King Kenny would become and I am glad to have watched this story unfold . YNWA

@@nigelhammond8516 Liverpool played Red Star Begrade and were played off the pitch about 1970. Immediately after the game the bootroom, where Bob was the leader, decided the English game would never bring European success, decided there and then to change playing style. We played Leeds at Elland Road and Revie was shocked at how easy Liverpool won. It was the passing game which achieved such success and was subsequently copied by Barcelona. Turning Ray Kennedy from centre fwd to an elegant midfielder. Signing Kenny, Sou etc etc etc. The guy was a true genius

@@brucekilby9957 Keegan based on pure ability. But Kenny based on a combination of everything - dedication, loyalty, ability, etc. Similar to the Rooney/Ronaldo debate at Man Utd - Ronaldo is clearly the all round better footballer & anyone would obviously rather have him in their team. But Wayne’s achievements with the club far outweigh the few years Ronaldo was at United before leaving for Madrid. Similar to Keegan going to Hamburg - he knew he couldn’t win Balon Dor’s at Liverpool because at the time the Bundesliga was miles out in front as the top league.
The twinkle in Bob Paisleys eye at the end says it all.
Listening to this great man means you are learning something every time.

The Scottish League was pretty competitive just after he left, and it wasn't Rangers who were challenging in the league. After 77 they languished pretty much mid-table until Souness came along. With Aberdeen and Dundee Utd becoming strong teams the league was just as competitive as the English first division at the time.
Kenny even when younger has always been very humble
Bob Paisley was such an intelligent football gent. Pure class and no ego.
Kenny, Kenny, I'd walk a million miles for one of your goals, oh Kenny.

I really like the way he answers the question about the level of the other Scottish teams. Of course the standard is better in England but every time one of those teams play against Celtic or Rangers it is a cup final to them and a real chance for one of those players to change their career’s or lives if they put on a show! Stuart Armstrong was a decent player at Dundee United and put in a few good performances in against Celtic, then got a massive move to Celtic and now plays in the premier league for Southampton. Just an example of the mentality the players have when playing against Celtic and Rangers.
