⚽Kenny Dalglish: The King’s Story (2025) – Documentary on the Liverpool FC Legend: Cast, Story, Release Date & Where to Watch

Streaming on Prime Video this November, Kenny Dalglish is a heartfelt, cinematic portrait of one of football’s most respected icons — the man who defined loyalty, courage, and class both on and off the pitch. Directed by Asif Kapadia, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind Senna, Amy, and Diego Maradona, this new documentary revisits the incredible life of a legend whose name still echoes across Celtic Park, Anfield, and the hearts of millions.

👑 The Legend, In His Own Words

“Kenny Dalglish was my hero as a kid,” says Kapadia — and it’s easy to see why. Known simply as King Kenny, Dalglish carved his legacy through brilliance, resilience, and quiet strength. The film unfolds through Dalglish’s own narration, giving fans a deeply personal look at his journey from the streets of Glasgow to the glory days of Celtic and Liverpool.

It’s not just about goals and trophies — though there were plenty. It’s about leadership during tragedy, humor under pressure, and humility in the face of fame. “I wanted to make this film for people who remember Kenny as a player,” Kapadia says, “but also for a new generation who only know his name from FIFA.”

🎥 A Journey Through Glory, Grit & Grace

Using never-before-seen archival footage and intimate family clips, Kenny Dalglish paints a vivid picture of the man behind the medals. It’s a time capsule of European football’s golden age, with appearances from Dalglish’s wife Marina, and footballing greats Graeme Souness and Alan Hansen — teammates who stood beside him through triumph and heartbreak.

From the roar of the Kop to the silence of Hillsborough, the film captures the emotional depth of Dalglish’s career, showing why his influence stretched far beyond the field. As he once said, “You’ll never walk alone — and I never did.”

❤️ More Than a Footballer

Dalglish’s legacy isn’t just in goals scored — it’s in compassion shown. Whether comforting grieving fans after tragedy or mentoring younger players, his humanity became his most powerful goal of all. The film reminds us that real heroes lead not through words, but through example.

As the documentary builds to its emotional close, we see Kenny not as an untouchable legend, but as a man — a husband, a father, and a believer in the people who stood by him.
