Asif Kapadia, the award-winning director of Senna, Amy and Diego Maradona is behind a new documentary about Kenny Dalglish.
The Prime Video film tells the story of the Liverpool and Celtic legend through never-before-seen personal footage and archive.
It is narrated by Dalglish himself, who is joined by his wife Marina and footballing friends Graeme Souness and Alan Hansen.
“Kenny Dalglish was my hero as a kid and I had his picture on my wall in North London where I grew up,” said Kapadia.
“I wanted to make this film for people like me who remember Kenny as a player, the Celtic, Liverpool, and Scottish fans, but also for my kids’ generation who only know Kenny from playing FIFA.
“They know the name but they have never seen how good he was as a player or, more importantly, what he did off the pitch for the people of Liverpool. Kenny was the leader who always stepped up and led us when we needed him.”

Kapadia said he drew on hundreds of hours of archive from his playing career and home life to reveal a “humble hero of Liverpool and Glasgow.”
Kenny Dalglish will launch on Prime Video in the UK and Ireland on 4 November.
