Page "Kenny Dalglish" Paragraph 14

With the sale of Ian Rush to Juventus in 1987, Dalglish formed a new striker partnership of new signings John Aldridge and Peter Beardsley for the 1987 – 88 season, and he played only twice in a league campaign which saw Liverpool gain their 17th title.

Dalglish did not play in Liverpool's 1988 – 89 campaign, and he made his final league appearance on 5 May 1990 as a substitute against Derby.

At 39, he was one of the oldest players ever to play for Liverpool.

His final goal had come three years earlier, in a 3 – 0 home league win over Nottingham Forest on 18 April 1987.
