Kenny: SG could be LFC's greatest
Kenny Dalglish believes it is difficult to argue against the contention that Steve Gerrard is the greatest Liverpool player of all time.
Many consider our current manager to be the finest footballer ever to don Liverpool red.
But asked at his weekly press conference whether he agreed with a claim by former colleague John Aldridge that Gerrard was the best we've ever had, Dalglish replied: "I wouldn't disagree.
"He's certainly made a huge contribution to the football club. Other people have different opinions, but he wouldn't be far away from being mentioned as the greatest player for Liverpool Football Club."
Gerrard this week signed a new contract which will keep him at Anfield until the end of his playing career and see him take on an ambassadorial role thereafter.
Dalglish is delighted - and revealed similar talks about a role after football could be held with Jamie Carragher.
The boss said: "Everyone knows the service Steven has given the football club and all the success he's brought to the football club. For him to be extending his contract and look to work for us beyond when he finishes playing, it's a great lift and great news for everyone.
"It doesn't happen very often but it depends on the people. If people are happy with where they're working, happy with the people they're working for, then why would you move?
"Hopefully the timing of when he stops playing is still a few years away.
"We'll have the same conversations with Carra as well, to try and keep him at the football club for as long as we can, and involved with the football club.
"We'll have a conversation with Carra to see what his plans and ambitions are and to see what he'd like to do.
"It's hugely important for us to keep people who've been great servants like those two have been. If they want to be here, we should do what we can to accommodate them."
Back on Gerrard, Dalglish was asked whether he thought the skipper could follow Ryan Giggs of Manchester United in playing until his late 30s.
"You have to wait and see how they get through injuries," responded the Scot.
"Giggs is 38, isn't he? That's seven years down the line - that's a long time. But if he's fit and well, there's no reason why not.
"I've not got a crystal ball. I'm just delighted we've got him here."
