  • Sir Kenny Dalglish, 75, said he is undergoing cancer treatment and that it is "going well" after an inadvertent social media post forced him to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Dalglish said he had wanted to keep the matter private, joking that his "useless technology skills" had forced his hand, and asked for privacy for himself and his family.
  • Liverpool backed that request, saying the support and love of everyone at the club are with Dalglish and his family.
  • Dalglish is one of British football's most decorated figures, scoring 167 goals in 320 games for Celtic, making 515 appearances for Liverpool and netting 30 goals in 102 Scotland caps.
