Sir Kenny Dalglish has paid tribute to Ian St John after the Liverpool legend passed away at the age of 82.
St John scored 118 goals in 425 appearances - including the winner in the 1965 FA Cup final - after being signed by Bill Shankly from Motherwell in 1961.
Dalglish told Liverpoolfc.com: “I think it’s right to use the word 'icon' and I send my prayers to Betsy, his wife, and the family and I just hope they are coping as well as they possibly can.
“He certainly was, and deservedly so, an iconic figure in and around Liverpool Football Club because he came in at the very beginning with Shanks and big Yatesey [Ron Yeats].
