Dalglish flattered by calls for knighthood
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is flattered by calls for him to be awarded a knighthood by relatives of victims of the Hillsborough disaster.
Families of the supporters killed in the 1989 tragedy have asked Liverpool Walton MP Steve Rotherham, the city's former Lord Mayor, to put down an Early Day Motion requesting the Queen confer a knighthood on the Scot.
Dalglish was in his first spell as Liverpool manager when 96 fans were crushed to death at the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's ground.
The 60-year-old earned widespread gratitude and admiration for the role he played representing the city and the club in the aftermath of the disaster.
Dalglish said: "It is very flattering but I just go about my work, do the best I can.
"If somebody wants to do things that are outside my control that is up to them, but it is very flattering. But I don't think I will get carried away with it."
