Dalglish inspired by Liverpool challenge
Kenny Dalglish admits he has found a new zest for life since being asked to return to the Liverpool manager's hotseat almost seven weeks ago.
Tuesday marked the 20th anniversary of the end of Dalglish's first spell as Anfield boss and the contrast in his demeanour from that day could not be more marked. The Scot stepped down in 1991 as the pressures of the job and the emotional burden of the Hillsborough disaster two years previously took their toll.
The 59-year-old, who became a grandfather again early this week when his son Paul's partner gave birth to twins, said: "I didn't envisage I was going to get to where I was 20 years ago and have to leave - but yesterday was a much better day than it was 20 years ago. But it was unavoidable and I am a very fortunate person to be asked to come back.
"It is a great honour to be back - the club means an awful lot to an awful lot of people and I am certainly one of them. To be asked to come back was really a big stroke of luck for me, I'm delighted with the way it's happened.
"I didn't know it was seven weeks, but every day you come in and there's something new to be done and every day you look forward to getting up out of bed, which is good.
"It's been a change, but it's been very rewarding and worthwhile for me and I just hope other people are enjoying it as much as I am."
