The article features an interview with Kenny Dalglish, a Scottish footballer and manager who won numerous titles with Liverpool. The conversation takes place while Dalglish is watching Liverpool play Manchester United at Anfield Stadium.

Dalglish discusses his feelings about the Hillsborough disaster, which occurred in 1989 when he was managing Liverpool. He recalls being telephoned by the Sun's editor, Kelvin MacKenzie, asking him to put "We Lied" in the headline to help end the city's boycott of the newspaper. Dalglish replied that he couldn't help and hung up.

The article also touches on Dalglish's recent involvement with Liverpool, including their surprise defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt in a Champions League tie. Despite this setback, Dalglish remains optimistic about the team's prospects for winning the league title again.

Throughout the conversation, Kapadia highlights Dalglish's commitment to his players and fans, as well as his willingness to stand up against injustice. The film about Dalglish is set to be released in cinemas on October 29-30 and will also be available on Amazon Prime from November 4.
 
Dude, you gotta fact-check this article 🤔... I mean, Kenny Dalglish's response to Kelvin MacKenzie is pretty well-known. Apparently, he refused to let the Sun put that headline in the paper because it was so insensitive and would have been a huge mistake on their part. I'm not sure why Kapadia's article's making such a big deal out of this, but at least Dalglish stood up for what's right, you know? 🙌
 
I'm still not convinced that Kenny Dalglish's involvement with Liverpool is a good thing 🤔. I mean, have you seen their recent performances? They're like a team of robots out there! 😅 And don't even get me started on the state of Anfield Stadium - it's like they're more interested in preserving history than actually winning matches.

But for real though, the fact that Dalglish was willing to stand up against Kelvin MacKenzie and the Sun is really admirable. It takes guts to speak truth to power, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as the Hillsborough disaster. I'm rooting for him, even if Liverpool isn't exactly dominating on the pitch right now 🤷‍♂️.

Still, I think we need to be more critical of our football heroes and their involvement with the teams they're supposed to support. What's in it for them? Are they using their influence to make a real difference, or are they just profiting off their legacy? That's what I want to see more of 💸
 
omg i just watched the match live at Anfield Stadium 🏟️😍 but you know what's crazy is that Kenny Dalglish had to deal with all those problems back then... like, I can imagine how tough it must've been for him to watch Liverpool players get killed in the stadium 💔 and now they're still trying to make a comeback 🤞 i wonder if he'll ever forgive the Sun for asking him to put that headline though idk man... anyway, does anyone know when the film is coming out? 🎥👀
 
I mean, can you imagine having a conversation with someone while they're watching their team get thrashed at home... like, what's there to talk about? 😂 Dalglish seems like a cool guy though, really passionate about the game and his players. I'm curious about this new film about him - hope it does justice to his story. The Hillsborough disaster is such a dark part of football history, but it's awesome that he spoke out against Kelvin MacKenzie's newspaper trying to use their tragedy for clicks 📰💔.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the media can just swoop in after an event like Hillsborough and expect someone to help them spin it their way 🤯. Like, I get that the Sun was trying to revive interest in the paper, but come on, you can't just ask a grieving manager to lie for you? It's messed up. 😔

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing the film about Dalglish, though - he seems like someone who stood by his values even when it wasn't easy 🙏. And I love that Kapadia is highlighting those aspects of his personality in the documentary. The fact that Liverpool still hasn't won the league title since... well, you know... just makes me want to keep believing in them even more 💪.

I'm curious how Dalglish's experience with the Hillsborough disaster has shaped him as a manager - was it hard for him to rebuild trust with his players and fans? 🤔
 
😒 I mean, who hasn't had a journalist call them at the worst possible moment asking for a scoop? Like, what even is that? 🙄 I'm pretty sure Kelvin MacKenzie was just trying to get some clicks in a bad time and Kenny Dalglish wasn't having it. I love how he stood up for himself like that - shows you don't have to stoop to their level. And honestly, I'm kinda surprised the Sun hasn't apologized by now 🤔. It's been over 30 years, right? Anyway, sounds like a great film is coming out about Kenny Dalglish... we'll see how that goes 😊.
 
I'm still getting chills thinking about the Hillsborough disaster 🤕💔, it's crazy how far we've come since then as a society, but I think Kenny Dalglish handled that situation with so much class & integrity 💪🏽 #JusticeForHillsborough. It's awesome to see him still giving his all for Liverpool FC, even when they're not doing so well on the pitch 😅 #LFC. The new film about him is gonna be a must-watch, I'm low-key hyped for it 🎥👍. Dalglish is literally living proof that you can stand up for what's right & still have a heart of gold ❤️ #KennyDalglishForever.
 
I'm so frustrated with the media back then 🤯. Can you imagine being asked by someone who's basically asking you to enable a hate campaign? It just shows how low some people will go for clicks and attention. And to think about Kenny Dalglish had to deal with that while managing one of the biggest clubs in England... what a stress 🤯. But I'm glad to hear he stood up for what's right even when it was tough. He's an inspiration to us all, especially when it comes to standing up for your fans and players 👍.
 
I'm not sure I buy into all the hype around this new documentary on Kenny Dalglish 🤔. Don't get me wrong, he's a legend of the game, but is it really necessary to revisit that sensitive topic about Hillsborough? It feels like they're stirring up old wounds for the sake of entertainment.

And what's with the recent struggles of Liverpool FC? I mean, they just got beaten by Frankfurt in the Champions League... that's not exactly a confidence booster 😬. But hey, Dalglish is always been optimistic about his team, even when things are going downhill.

As much as I admire Dalglish for speaking out against injustice, it feels like Kapadia's trying to turn him into some kind of hero rather than just showing the real person behind the legend 🙃. Still, I'm curious to see the film and see if it really does capture the essence of this iconic figure 👀.
 
man... Kenny Dalglish talking about Hillsborough and it's still so bloody shocking 🤕 he can't even talk about it without getting emotional, ya know? all these years later and it's like the wound is still open 🤯 and I'm just over here thinking that the Sun's still gonna get it for what they did to him one day... meanwhile, Liverpool's struggling on the pitch 😔 but at least Dalglish is still standing up for his players & fans, that's somethin' we can all root for 👏
 
just watching this interview with Kenny Dalglish is giving me chills 🥺... the way he spoke about the Hillsborough disaster, it's like the pain never really went away 😔. it's crazy to think that all these years later, people still remember that moment and the fact that those responsible haven't been held accountable yet is just... frustrating 😤. on a more positive note though, it's awesome to see him still got that fire in his belly for Liverpool FC 💪... hopefully this film does justice to his story and sheds some light on what really went down 🎥
 
🤔 This interview with Kenny Dalglish is so emotional 🙏, remembering the Hillsborough disaster is really tough for him I'm sure... 😞 he sounds like a really honest person who won't take crap from anyone 💁‍♂️ especially not that Kelvin MacKenzie guy 👊 his commitment to his players and fans is inspiring, can't wait to watch the film about him on Amazon Prime 🎬
 
I'm still shocked by how far the truth has slipped in the UK 🤯 I mean, you're telling me the Sun's editor thought it was a good idea to ask Kenny Dalglish to lie about one of the darkest moments in football history? Like, what kind of person does that? 😱 And to be fair to Kelvin MacKenzie (no pun intended), at least he had the guts to own up to his mistake and apologize after a few years. Still, it's crazy to think that people were willing to play along with such blatant dishonesty back in the day 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm not sure I buy all the nostalgic feel-good vibes around this interview with Kenny Dalglish 🤔. I mean, sure, he's a Liverpool legend and all that, but shouldn't we be talking about how his presence still affects the team and its fans? That recent loss to Frankfurt is still pretty big, especially when you consider the squad they have 💥.

And what really gets me is this whole "We Lied" headline thing. It's wild that the Sun just called him out like that 📰. I'd love to see some more context on that conversation and how it all went down. Sources, please? 😊
 
I feel so bad thinking about the Hillsborough disaster 🤕... it's still shocking that some people would try to exploit a tragedy like that for publicity 📰. Kenny Dalglish's reaction to Kelvin MacKenzie's request is really admirable - he stood firm and refused to compromise his values 💪.

And I think it's great to see him focusing on the positives now, even with Liverpool not playing so well in the Champions League 😐. The fact that he's still optimistic about their chances of winning the league title again shows how much he cares about the team and its fans ❤️. Kapadia does a great job of highlighting Dalglish's commitment to his players and fans, and I'm sure fans will love watching this film about him on the big screen 🍿. Can't wait to see it!
 
You know I've been thinking, what really gets me is how far we've come since the Hillsborough disaster... it's still a sensitive topic, but Dalglish's response to Kelvin MacKenzie all those years ago just shows how far we've progressed as a society 🙏. It's crazy to think that back then, people were actually asking him to compromise the integrity of his players and fans for the sake of a headline. The fact that he stood up against it is just testament to how strong he is as a person and as a leader... I mean, you can't help but admire someone who'd take a stand like that, especially when it comes down to protecting the people he cares about 💯.

Now, I'm not gonna lie, his recent involvement with Liverpool hasn't exactly been a walk in the park 🤦‍♂️. That loss to Eintracht Frankfurt was a shock, to say the least! But Dalglish's still keeping his chins up and believing that they've got what it takes to win the league again ⚽️. It's really inspiring to see someone who's been through so much in their career still keep pushing forward with so much passion and dedication.

I'm actually super excited for this new film about Dalglish coming out... I think it's gonna be a great insight into his life, especially when it comes to the Hillsborough disaster 🎥. It's not just a movie about football, it's about justice, loyalty, and standing up for what you believe in 💪. So yeah, mark my words, this one's gonna be a real game-changer!
 
Man, it's crazy how much time has passed since that fateful day at Hillsborough 😔. You think Kenny's all better now, but the scars still linger, you know? He talks about feeling guilty for not speaking out back then 🤕. But what really gets me is that even with all the controversy surrounding him, he's still so passionate about his players and fans ❤️. That's what makes it hard to judge people like Kenny - they're just human beings with good intentions.

And can you believe he's still watching over Liverpool like a proud father 🐕? The team may not be doing great right now, but it's clear he believes in them 💪. Maybe that's the real secret to success - not being afraid to take a risk and trust in others 🤝. This film about his life is gonna be so interesting, I'm definitely checking it out 👍
 
I'm still getting chills thinking about the Hillsborough disaster 🤯... Kenny Dalglish's story is like a punch to the gut, but in a good way you know? It shows how he stood by what was right and refused to back down, even when it meant going against one of the biggest newspapers in the country. I mean, who does that? The fact that he hung up on Kelvin MacKenzie is just incredible 😂... and now his life story is being made into a film 🎥... can't wait to see how it all plays out! I think we need more people like Kenny Dalglish in the world, you know, people who care about what's right and won't back down from a fight 💪.
