Liverpool have Dalglish, who was a pretty special player in his day by all accounts, but that was a long time ago.

And there's Steve Bruce. He had a top playing career.

"Pretty special" doesn't quite do justice to Dalglish. I'm struggling to think of a player of that class playing in Britain at the moment - suggestions? David Silva maybe - but only if he goes on to be Man City player-manager and wins the double in his first season, scoring the goal that clinches the title himself ...
