“It’s the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever known, it takes my breath away. I understand that like Kevin Keegan, Dalglish wants to get on, but I would have moved heaven and earth to keep him. I would rather have quit and got out of the game altogether than sold a player of his brilliance. He’s got everything plus temperament. If I was a manager today and was asked to sell him, bearing in mind present values, the fee would have been more like £1 million.” – Bill Shankly on the signing of King Kenny.
