Editing Kenny Dalglish (section)

===Liverpool===
After the [[Heysel Stadium disaster]] in 1985 and [[Joe Fagan]]'s subsequent resignation as manager, Dalglish became [[Player-coach#Player-manager|player-manager]] of Liverpool. In his first season in charge in [[1985–86 in English football|1985–86]], he guided the club to its first "[[Double (association football)|double]]". Liverpool achieved this by winning the League Championship by two points over [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] (Dalglish himself scored the winner in a 1–0 victory over [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] at [[Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge]] to secure the title on the final day of the season),<ref name="Mirror_86"/> and the FA Cup by beating Everton [[1986 FA Cup Final|in the final]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bevan |first1=Chris |last2=Barder |first2=Russell |date=23 January 2009 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7827167.stm |title=When Dalglish did the Double |work=BBC Sport |access-date=18 June 2009 |archive-date=26 January 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090126030818/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7827167.stm |url-status=live }}</ref>

The [[1986–87 in English football|1986–87 season]] was trophyless for Liverpool. They lost 2–1 to Arsenal in the League Cup final at Wembley. Before the [[1987–88 in English football|1987–88 season]], Dalglish signed two new players: striker [[Peter Beardsley]] from Newcastle and winger [[John Barnes (footballer)|John Barnes]] from [[Watford F.C.|Watford]]. He had already purchased goalscorer [[John Aldridge]] from [[Oxford United F.C.|Oxford United]] (a replacement for Ian Rush, who was moving to Italy) in the spring of 1987 and early into the new campaign, bought [[Oxford United]] midfielder [[Ray Houghton]]. The new-look Liverpool side shaped by Dalglish topped the league for almost the entire season, and had a run of 37 matches unbeaten in all competitions (including 29 in the league; 22 wins and 7 draws) from the beginning of the season to 21 February 1988, when they lost to Everton in the league. Liverpool were crowned champions with four games left to play, having suffered just two defeats from 40 games. However, Dalglish's side lost the [[1988 FA Cup Final]] to underdogs [[Wimbledon F.C.|Wimbledon]].<ref>[http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1988.htm FA Cup Final 1988] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111209030528/http://www.fa-cupfinals.co.uk/1988.htm |date= 9 December 2011 }} FA-Cup Finals.

In the summer of 1988, Dalglish re-signed Ian Rush. Liverpool beat Everton 3–2 after extra time in the second all-Merseyside FA Cup final in 1989, but was deprived of a second double in the [[Liverpool 0–2 Arsenal (26 May 1989)|final game of the season]], when Arsenal secured a [[last-minute goal]] to take the title from Liverpool. In the [[1989–90 in English football|1989–90]] season Liverpool won their third league title under Dalglish. They missed out on the double and a third successive FA Cup final appearance when they lost 4–3 in extra-time to Crystal Palace in an FA Cup semi-final at [[Villa Park]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/fa-cup/5172107/Top-10-classic-FA-Cup-semi-finals.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/fa-cup/5172107/Top-10-classic-FA-Cup-semi-finals.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Top 10 classic FA Cup semi-finals |first=Rory |last=Smith |date=17 April 2009 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref> At the end of the season Dalglish received his third Manager of the Year award.
