Sir Kenny Dalglish Undergoing Cancer Treatment
Scotland, Liverpool, and Celtic legend Sir Kenny Dalglish is currently receiving treatment for cancer.
The former forward and manager initially intended to keep the diagnosis private but confirmed it after unintentionally revealing the information in an "inadvertent social media post."
"I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer," Dalglish, 75, wrote on social media. "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."
Career Highlights
Dalglish scored 167 goals in 320 appearances for Celtic between 1969 and 1977 before making 515 appearances for Liverpool.
The renowned forward also scored 30 goals in 102 caps for Scotland.
Club Statement
In response, Liverpool issued a statement expressing their support:
"The support, best wishes and love of everyone at Liverpool FC are, and will be, with Sir Kenny and his family.
The club would also like to underscore his request for privacy moving forward."
