Liverpool skipper Gerrard grateful for close relationship with Dalglish

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits he enjoyed playing for Kenny Dalglish.

Gerrard admits he's close to the Reds legend.

"Kenny has always been great with me," said the England captain, speaking at their plush team hotel near Watford.

"Before he was manager at Liverpool, he was always looking out for me and giving me the right advice.

"It was a dream come true to work with him closely when he became manager. It's a shame he had to leave, but he led us to two good finals.

"We got on really well then and we still do. I spoke to him just last week and I'm sure I'll get a text message tomorrow. He is a hero of mine, simple as that."
