David Prentice: Kenny Dalglish goes back to Liverpool FC – but looks forward with a vision

David PrenticeIN football, they say never go back.But at Liverpool they do - especially striking legends - and historically the results have been mixed.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.But if Rush was the successful comeback, the man he mentored fared less profitably.When Robbie Fowler left Liverpool for Leeds he revelled in the nickname 'God' following 171 memorable strikes.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.So which route will Kenny's comeback take?Dalglish himself was non-committal.
