KNIGHTHOOD FOR KENNY DALGLISH

Early day motion 1733, tabled 26 April 2011 by Steve Rotheram (Labour). Signed by 46 members.

That this House notes the outstanding contribution to British football by Kenny Dalglish as both a player and manager; recognises his support alongside his wife Marina for charitable causes; further notes his continued support for the dignified campaign by the families of the 96 Liverpool FC supporters who died at the Hillsborough Disaster on 15 April 1989; calls on the Government to recommend that Kenny Dalglish be knighted; and believes that any award would be a fitting tribute to the Hillsborough families' unstinting campaign for justice for the 96.

Signatures by party: Labour 36, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Scottish National Party 2, DUP 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
