1951

Sir Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish (born 4 March 1951) is a Scottish former football player and manager.

He is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time as well as one of Liverpool's and Britain's greatest ever players.

During his career, he made 338 appearances for Celtic and 515 for Liverpool, playing as a forward, and earned a record 102 caps for the Scotland national team, scoring 30 goals, also a joint record.

1966

In 1966, Dalglish had unsuccessful trials at West Ham United and Liverpool.

1967

Dalglish signed a professional contract with Celtic in May 1967.

The club's assistant manager Sean Fallon went to see Dalglish and his parents at their home, which had Rangers-related pictures on the walls.

In his first season, Dalglish was loaned out to Cumbernauld United, for whom he scored 37 goals.

During this time he also worked as an apprentice joiner.

Celtic manager Jock Stein wanted Dalglish to spend a second season at Cumbernauld, but the youngster wanted to turn professional.

Dalglish got his wish and became a regular in the reserve team known as the Quality Street Gang, due to it containing a large number of highly rated players, including future Scottish internationals Danny McGrain, George Connelly, Lou Macari and David Hay.

1968

Dalglish made his first-team competitive debut for Celtic in a Scottish League Cup quarter-final tie against Hamilton Academical on 25 September 1968, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–2 win.

He spent the 1968–69 season playing for the reserves, though scored just four goals in 17 games.

The following season he changed his position, moving into midfield, and enjoyed a good season as he helped the reserve team to the league and cup double, scoring 19 goals in 31 games.

1969

Stein put Dalglish in the starting XI for the first team in a league match against Raith Rovers on 4 October 1969.

Celtic won 7–1 but Dalglish didn't score, nor did he score in the next three first-team games he played in during the 1969–70 season.

Dalglish continued his goal-scoring form in the reserves into the next season, scoring 23 goals.

1971

Dalglish began his career with Celtic in 1971, going on to win four Scottish league championships, four Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup with the club.

In international football, Dalglish made 102 appearances and scored 30 goals for Scotland between 1971 and 1986, becoming their most capped player and joint-leading goal scorer (with Denis Law).

1974
