Kenny is honoured by Beeb
he would be receiving the prestigious accolade.
He said: “Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award is truly an honour.
“I have always believed in the importance of team success and I wouldn’t be where I am today without all of the players I’ve played with, the people I’ve worked for and the supporters that stood by me, so this is for them.”
The Liverpool icon joined the Reds for a British-record transfer fee of £440,000 in 1977 after winning nine trophies in eight years at Celtic.
But Dalglish had no problems living up to his price tag, netting just seven minutes into his Reds debut.
He capped the end of his first season at Anfield by scoring the winning goal in the European Cup Final against Club Brugge.
Dalglish won 21 trophies in 13 years on Merseyside and is still worshipped by the Kop, having also managed the club on two separate occasions.
He scored 30 times in 102 games for Scotland and also won the Premier League as a coach with Blackburn Rovers before spells in charge of Newcastle and Celtic.
He added: “For every club side and national team I’ve been involved with, I’ve always said how important it is to have the support of the fans.
“And the fans who support you, they’re a vital, vital part of any success. With all the teams, I experienced that.
“When we are struggling, they’re still there and they’re willing you on, trying to get a result, a positive result.”
Dalglish also provided unwavering support for the families of the 97 supporters who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy in 1989.
Both he and his wife Marina have raised more than £10million for various charities, including the Marina Dalglish Appeal that helps those battling cancer.
