Craig Bellamy has revealed how an angry Kenny Dalglish convinced him to move to Liverpool in the summer.

Bellamy also had an offer to join Tottenham in the summer and the White Hart Lane club made an eleventh hour attempt to trump Liverpool's offer.

But Dalglish had his heart set on signing Bellamy, 32, and the curt conversation he had with Bellamy's agent, Steve Horner, convinced him there was only one move to make.

"My agent has to do what's best for me and allow me to make a choice," said Bellamy. "That's what he's there for. He was doing his job (on deadline day) and then Kenny rung him up.

"He gave him an almighty rollicking about me coming here and him spoiling it. I knew Kenny was desperate to sign me. He showed his desire and straight away I said, 'get the Liverpool deal done.'"
