THE CATFLAP CHINWAG WITH…

KELLY DALGLISH

Click on know-it-all website Wikipedia and it will tell you that KELLY DALGLISH is not only the new face of Virgin Media’s online football coverage and a Setanta and Talksport radio presenter but she also happens to be the sister of Houston Dynamo’s Paul Dalglish. Oh, and her old man was quite handy too…

 

Is ‘how was it growing up as a famous footballer’s daughter?’ the question you get asked the most?

Yeah, it is! And I really should think of a really interesting answer to it. It’s really weird because I don’t have anything to compare it to, as a kid whatever you grow up with is normal. I don’t think it was that different, it’s not as it is now with all the attention so you could just have more of a normal life.

 

How do you think Liverpool will fare this season?

I was quite hopeful at the beginning but it’s been mixed since then so I’ve got no idea what’s going to happen.

 

Do you remember your first match?

No, my first Liverpool match was when I was about two years old so I don’t remember going. We’d just moved down to Liverpool and my mum didn’t know any babysitters so we just got taken along to the matches.
