"Unlike my mobile phone use, the treatment is going well."Ideally, this would have remained private because that's the way it should be, but my useless technology skills have forced my hand."Obviously I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected."As ever, thank you to the wonderful medical staff who have shown incredible care and discretion, not just for me but for many, many others.

They are a credit to themselves."The former forward scored 30 goals – a joint national record alongside Denis Law – in 102 appearances for Scotland and is the country's most capped player.He scored 167 goals in 320 appearances for Celtic between 1969 and 1977, winning four league titles and four Scottish Cups.Dalglish signed for Liverpool for a British record fee of £440,000 and spearheaded a golden era for the club, winning three European Cups and eight First Division titles across his 515 appearances.He was appointed player-manager with the Reds in 1985, a spell in which he also guided Liverpool to two FA Cups, as well as leading the club through the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.He later went on to manage Blackburn – where he won the Premier League in 1995 – Newcastle, Celtic and Liverpool again in 2011-2012.In a statement, Liverpool said: "The support, best wishes and love of everyone at Liverpool FC are, and will be, with Sir Kenny and his family."The club would also like to underscore his request for privacy moving forward."Ian Rush, who played alongside Dalglish at Liverpool, posted: "The King is one of the strongest and most positive people I've ever known.
