Review
This was one of Kenny Dalglish's greatest ever performances in his career on a raw winter's day. He scored three and helped with three others and gave a performance bordering on perfection.
The pick of the goals was Dalglish's second when he ran from the half way line, beat three players and cooly slotted the ball past Thomson Allan.
Ex Crystal Palace defender Iain Philip rates Kenny better then anyone in England, even Kevin Keegan and Rodney Marsh.
