Kenny Dalglish on Alex Fergusons Book My liverpool Obsession popularly known as My Autobiography: I did find it interesting that he saw fit to dedicate an entire chapter of his book to Liverpool Football Club. I think a lot of people would have been interested to learn more about the Rock of Gibraltar story. But there were only a few words about the racehorse and the controversy that caused so much upset at United and was part of the reason for his fall-out with Keane. Then he said that in his opinion the Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was not “a top, top player”. Considering he tried to buy him, it’s a strange statement straight away. Maybe he’s bitter that Steven didn’t want to go. Ferguson must be the only person with any knowledge of football who does not regard Steven as a world-class player. His performances over the years have spoken much louder than any of Ferguson’s words could. He has acted with class on and off the pitch. Maybe what’s eating Ferguson is that you can only imagine the success that United would have had with Steven in their team. It’s frightening. And it would be scary to think of the trophies Liverpool would have missed out on without him. He said he was not haunted by any of my signings at Liverpool, either. Well, he may not have lost any sleep over them, but he certainly lost a few points.
