Our tribute to the Scottish legend. Released on his 65th birthday, 4 March 2016. All proceeds to the Marina Dalglish Appeal.

Not just the best footballer to ever play for Scotland and Liverpool, he was the best player in the world in his best days at Anfield Road. He was also an amazing manager and leader, effortlessly commanding loyalty and respect. But he transcends football.

He is an inspiration as a man, a leader and is an example of how to deal with tragedy, grief and loss. He was tested through the most difficult times after Liverpool’s darkest hours at Heysel and Hillsborough and he is still, with his wife Marina, an incredible source of strength and comfort to all the families in Merseyside who need him. He could never have known, when he was at Miltonbank primary school in Glasgow or on loan from Celtic to Cumbernauld United, where his life was going to take him and the triumphs and tribulations he would have to go through. He has exemplified dignity and humility throughout it all.

He is the kind of person that songs should be written about. A hundred million stars are standing up.
