Kenny Dalglish feared the sack on conference call with owner John Henry

Liverpool great Kenny Dalglish thought he was being sacked for a second time when he was called into manager Jurgen Klopp’s office for a conference call with owner John Henry – only to discover he was being immortalised at Anfield.

The 66-year-old Scot will attend a ceremony today where the former Centenary Stand will be renamed the Kenny Dalglish Stand in his honour.

Family, former team-mates and also rivals – including Manchester United’s Alex Ferguson and Bobby Charlton – will be present to see the man still regarded as the best player in the club’s history recognised.
