Liverpool great Kenny Dalglish ​said on Tuesday that ​he is undergoing ‌treatment for ​cancer. Dalglish, who won over 30 trophies for Liverpool as a player and ‌a manager, announced the diagnosis on social media.

"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," the 75-year-old wrote on Instagram. "Ideally, this would have remained private because that's the way it should be, but my ⁠useless ​technology skills have ⁠forced my hand.

"Obviously, I did not mean to make this matter ⁠public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my ​family and myself are respected." Dalglish scored 172 goals for ⁠Liverpool in 13 seasons as a player, winning six league titles ⁠and ​three European Cups during the Merseyside club's glory years.

He later took charge as manager, guiding the Anfield ⁠side to three league titles and two FA Cups in the ⁠1980s. Kevin ⁠Keegan, another prolific former Liverpool forward, revealed on Monday that he has stage four cancer.
