Knighthoods are often given away far too freely these days but here's a man who I feel whole heartedly deserves the prestige bestowed upon him.

Former footballer and manager Kenny Dalglish has been knighted.

Sir Kenny received the honour from Prince Charles during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
As a player, Sir Kenny helped Liverpool win three European Cups in seven years. He went on to successfully manage both Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers.

Sir Kenny supported the families of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster and he and his wife Marina have raised more than £10m for charity.

Kenny Dalglish's honour was for "services to football, charity, and the city of Liverpool".

One other thing, does anyone think that the remaining World Cup winners of 66 should be knighted?
