Legendary Liverpool figure, Sir Kenny Dalglish, has hit the headlines for an unexpected reason! The former footballer, known for his incredible career, was handed a £1,000 fine for speeding in Crosby, Merseyside. At 74, Dalglish was clocked driving his shiny silver Mercedes at 30mph in a 20mph zone last September.
With his remarkable history of six league titles and three European Cups, Dalglish took responsibility by pleading guilty to the offence and accepted the three penalty points on his licence. The court also required him to pay additional costs, bringing the total to £1,520.
Interestingly, Dalglish faced a separate charge for not identifying himself as the driver initially. He pleaded not guilty, explaining he never received the letter requesting driver details. The police decided to drop this charge.
Despite the slip-up, Dalglish’s achievements on the pitch and as a manager remain impressive, including leading Liverpool to multiple league and FA Cup victories. He was even knighted in 2018!
Moral of the story? Even football legends need to watch their speedometers! Stay safe and keep to those speed limits, folks. 🚗⚽️🏆
