Football legend Kenny Dalglish has broken a 20-year TV silence on the Hillsborough disaster claiming police and officials should have delayed the kick-off.
Former Liverpool manager Dalglish, 57, will speak for the first time on Hillsborough Remembered, which marks 20 years since 96 fans died at an FA Cup semi-final tie against Nottingham Forest.
Dalglish reveals: “The easiest thing to do was to have put the kick-off back. That’s not a problem for anybody.
“If the police are talking to the FA then the FA have got to make that call, but there would have been no resentment or disagreement with people in the dressing room.”
In an emotional interview Dalglish also praises the Liverpool fans’ behaviour.
He says: “The punters were superb. They helped the police as much as anything else. They’re supporters – it was their club in trouble.”
