Liverpool Legend Dalglish Joins Twitter

LIVERPOOL FC icon Kenny Dalglish has joined the massed ranks of Reds followers on Twitter. The Anfield legend's son Paul @ pauldalglish broke the news on the micro-blogging site yesterday, confirming that @ KennethDalglish was in fact the man himself and not an impersonator. Kenny introduced himself to his followers - whose numbers grew in incredible numbers, with over 17,000 already keeping track of his updates less than 24 hours after he joined - in his own inimitable style with a gentle dig at old striking partner Ian Rush before lamenting the Reds' failure to beat Wigan last night while admitting he did enjoy the Lancashire side's hospitality. Twitter has grown massively in popularity over recent months with many in the public eye clearly feeling it is an effective of managing their own publicity and LFC are already well represented. New club owner John W Henry @john_w_henry is a regular Tweeter as his wife Linda Pizzuti @linda_pizzuti, who recently announced via the social media site how much she enjoyed her first experience of Anfield . Current squad members Lucas Leiva @LucasLeiva87, Ryan Babel @ryanbabel, Brad Jones @Brad_ Jones1, and Emiliano Insua @ EmilianoInsua (currently on loan at Galatasaray) are also fairly regular contributors while ex- Reds Xabi Alonso @xabialonso and Alvaro Arbeloa @aarbeloa17 update with their progress at Real Madrid.
