Kenny's tribute to MPs
Kenny Dalglish has paid tribute to the MPs who helped ensure there will be full disclosure of all government documents concerning the Hillsborough tragedy - and labelled it a victory for all football fans.
The House of Commons this week staged its first full-scale debate about the 1989 disaster in which 96 Liverpool fans died.
There were moving speeches from numerous MPs and the result was that there will now be full and uncensored disclosure of all documents - as was the wish of 140,000 people who signed a government e-petition.
Dalglish said: "It's a fantastic success for the families. It's a huge step forward for them. They are getting access to what other people have seen, the papers that are there.
"There has been some fantastic work done by Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram. Andy came up two years ago and said he'd try and push this forward and he's kept his word. Steve Rotheram is a local MP who's pushed it forward, so there are lots of people who've done brilliantly for the families.

"All they want is some closure on it. I don't know how long it will take to go through the papers but I don't think speed is the most important thing. Care and attention to the detail is the most important thing.
"It wasn't just about the city. I think people everywhere want to see it and it's very appropriate they will get to see the papers that are there.
"The petition tells you this isn't just about Liverpool Football Club and the fans who support Liverpool, it's about football. It could have been anybody there. Everyone who supports a football club realises."
