Sir Kenny Dalglish has revealed he is receiving treatment for cancer. The Liverpool legend, who is 75, confirmed the diagnosis on Tuesday having mistakenly posted about his treatment earlier in the day.

Liverpool have said: “The support, best wishes and love of everyone at Liverpool FC are, and will be, with Sir Kenny and his family.”Dalglish wrote: “As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer. 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. They are a credit to themselves.”Liverpool have also requested privacy for Dalglish as he continues his treatment.
