He deserves it for his actions after Hillsborough.

While I'm not sure about the honours system, if sportsmen and sportswoman should receive some sort of public acknowledgement then Kenny Dalglish has been overdue for a long, long time.
His exploits as a footballer were more than enough and how he responded to Hillsborough took him way, way beyond that.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Sir King Kenny is an absolute legend for the way he has conducted himself on and off the park above and beyond the call of duty for football, charity and the City of Liverpool. Well deserved. RESPECT.

There will be posters of a certain age, me being one, for whom Kenny Dalglish was God and who you claimed to be when you scored a raker or a peach down the side of the flats, or at the rec, or in the street.
You got a glimpse of other stellar players every so often, when the very limited TV coverage allowed - Platini, Rumenigge and the likes.
Absolute legend, already a legend before I was old enough to know who he was, and continued to be after I did.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Didn’t cover himself in glory defending Suárez after the Evra racism scandal. Seem to remember the Liverpool players even wearing Suárez tshirts after him being found guilty.

Long overdue. One of football's good guys. At one point he was attending five funerals a day in the aftermath of Hillsborough. Complete respect for Sir King.

Kenny Dalglish is one of the classiest guys in the game. Dignity, integrity and loyalty all day long.
Absolutely delighted to see this recognition for him and perhaps too for the club, the city and all it went through after Hillsborough.

Delighted for him and his family, did he play in Alan sneddons testimonial, and Keith got a hat trick?

Fought for many years with the British Government over Hillsborough. Thought he might have told them to bolt.

Part of me wishes he'd told them to stick it.
However if we have an honours system and he's happy to accept it then I can't think of many people more deserving, certainly in the context of sport.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Pleased for KD, I assume this is for services to sport. I do wonder why this year and not last year or the year before etc... how exactly does the honours system work? Not a big fan of it and appears haphazard and apart from the odd pleb is just cronyism and pats on the back for the old boys and elite.

Like many more, I'm not in favour of the honours system, but if anyone deserves recognition of their achievements it's Kenny. This award is unlikely to change him in the least. Truly one of life's good guys.

Kenny's a good guy but I would have loved him to refuse the award due to the establishment's cover up over Hillsborough. The honors system is discredited; title and privilege is throwback to the days of the British Empire and should have no place in modern society IMO.Last edited by The Harp Awakes; 09-06-2018 at 08:44 AM.
