In May 1986, at the age of 35, Kenny Dalglish became the first player-manager in history to win the English championship. He did it in typical style: scoring the title-clinching goal himself.

It was his first season in charge at Anfield and not everything had gone to plan. After losing 2-0 at home against league-leaders Everton, the Reds were eight points off the pace and a 16th title looked unlikely.

Dalglish's charges rallied to go on an 11-game unbeaten run to climb to the top of table and, on the last day of the season, headed to Chelsea seeking a first win at Stamford Bridge in 12 years to clinch the title.

Enter King Kenny.

With 23 minutes gone, the Liverpool No.7 chested down a clever lofted pass over the defence from Jim Beglin and guided a brilliant volley past Chelsea goalkeeper Tony Godden.

It was one of the best title-winning strikes ever and set the Reds up for a famous double.

"There was no way we were ever going to win that championship," said Dalglish's captain, Alan Hansen. "And yet somehow we came through and won it."
