Sir Kenny Dalglish confirms cancer diagnosis

The Liverpool FC icon shared the news via social media today, posting the following message.

“As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer,” said Sir Kenny. “Unlike my mobile phone use, the treatment is going well.

“Ideally, this would have remained private because that’s the way it should be, but my useless technology skills have forced my hand.

“Obviously I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected.

“As ever, thank you to the wonderful medical staff who have shown incredible care and discretion, not just for me but for many, many others. They are a credit to themselves.”

The support, best wishes and love of everyone at Liverpool FC are, and will continue to be, with Sir Kenny and his family.

The club would also like to underscore his request for privacy moving forward.
