The Scottish football is synonymous with Liverpool’s golden era of success in the late 1970s and mid 1980s
Former Liverpool and Celtic striker and manager Kenny Dalglish has revealed that he is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.
The 75-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of the best footballers of his generation, admitted that he wanted to keep the news private but confirmed the diagnosis after accidentally sharing the news in an "inadvertent social media post.”
In a statement on social media which was posted after news broke, the 102-time Scotland international wrote: "I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Unlike my mobile phone use, the treatment is going well.
"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.
"As ever, thank you to the wonderful medical staff who have shown incredible care and discretion, not just for me but for many, many others. They are a credit to themselves."
