FOOTBALL – LIVERPOOL great Kenny Dalglish said yesterday that he is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Dalglish, who won over 30 trophies for Liverpool as a player and a manager, announced the diagnosis on social media.
“As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Unlike my mobile phone use, the treatment is going well,” the 75-year-old wrote on Instagram. “Ideally, this would have remained private because that’s the way it should be, but my useless technology skills have forced my hand.
“Obviously, I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected.”
Dalglish scored 172 goals for Liverpool in 13 seasons as a player, winning six league titles and three European Cups during the Merseyside club’s glory years.
