Sir Kenny Dalglish, former Liverpool players has confirmed, he is undergoing treatment for a cancer diagnosis.
The former Scotland and Celtic FC star made the announcement on Instagram. He said, he had previously shared an “inadvertent social media post” indicating his diagnosis, blaming his “useless technology skills”, and requested for privacy.
Dalglish wrote: “As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer. 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.
“I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected.”
The football legend expressed his gratitude to the medical team he described as “wonderful” for their “incredible care and discretion”.
He further wrote: “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.”
In reaction to the announcement, Liverpool posted on its official website: “The support, best wishes and love of everyone at Liverpool FC are, and will continue to be, with Sir Kenny and his family.”
