Dalglish spoke on camera regarding the Hillsborough Disaster in March 2009, breaking a twenty-year silence on the event. Marking the twentieth anniversary of the disaster, he expressed regret that the police and the FA had not considered delaying the kick-off of the match; a move which could have averted the 96 deaths.
During the Hillsborough Memorial Service on April 15th 2011, the 22nd anniversiary of the disaster, Liverpool MP Steve Rotherham announced he was to put forward an early motion for the Queen which would see the Liverpool legend knighted for the part he played in helping families of the 96 fans who lost their lives.
