David Prentice: Kenny Dalglish goes back to Liverpool FC – but looks forward with a vision
David Prentice[LNB]IN football, they say never go back.[LNB]But at Liverpool they do - especially striking legends - and historically the results have been mixed.[LNB]Back when King Kenny was an ageing but still mercurially inventive player, Ian Rush left Liverpool with a reputation as the most feared striker in Europe. When he returned after a shortlived Italian job he was an even more complete footballer ready to add even more honours to his bulgling trophy cabinet.[LNB]But if Rush was the successful comeback, the man he mentored fared less profitably.[LNB]When Robbie Fowler left Liverpool for Leeds he revelled in the nickname 'God' following 171 memorable strikes.[LNB]But those predatory powers had dimmed when he returned in 2006 to the point that he added just a dozen more efforts in two years, and even his farewell performance was bungled - taken off the pitch barely seconds before the Reds were awarded a penalty kick.[LNB]So which route will Kenny's comeback take?[LNB]Dalglish himself was non-committal.
