THE hunt is on for the greatest Glaswegian of all time.

Who do you think should be number one?

Throughout July, we are revealing the top 50 men and women who have put our city on the map through politics, the arts, business, science, sport and more.

Once all 50 have been revealed, it’s over to you – we will be launching a public vote to find out who you think should be crowned Greatest Glaswegian.

Today, we reveal the next two contenders for the title – footballing giants Sir Kenny Dalglish and Walter Smith.

KENNY DALGLISH

‘King Kenny’ grew up in Dalmarnock in the east end, where he learned to play football kicking about on the streets with his pals.

A prolific goal scorer, he was famous for his successes in the 1970s and 1980s with Glasgow Celtic and with Liverpool, and he has often been described as the greatest British player of his generation.

He signed for Celtic at the age of 16 and would go on to win four Scottish First Division titles, four Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup with the club.

His 112 goals in 204 matches earned him the title of bona fide Scottish footballing legend.

He moved to Liverpool in 1977 to replace Kevin Keegan and in his first season, scored the winning goal in the European Cup final.

The Scottish international striker had become a star of English football and he went on to become a legend in Liverpool, winning three European Cups and six league titles with the club.

As a manager he performed the rare feat of winning top-flight league championship titles with two different clubs, Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers.

He was knighted for services to football, charity and the city of Liverpool, where he supported families of fans killed during the Hillsborough disaster.

Kenny and his wife Marina were Liverpool’s public face as a whole city mourned following Hillsborough, when a crush before an FA Cup final claimed the lives of 96 fans.

They provided support and comfort for grieving families and on one day alone attended four funerals.

Kenny said at the time: “They needed a bit of help, we wanted to help them, and I’m sure they would have done the same for us - I think that’s what life is all about.”

Kenny and Marina also founded The Marina Dalglish Appeal, his family’s cancer charity which opened the Centre for Oncology at University Hospital in 2007 and has raised more than £10 million since.

He was granted the Freedom of the City of Liverpool in 2016, in recognition of his tireless work.

In spring 1997 he took control at a third top-flight English club, once again replacing the departing Kevin Keegan, this time as manager of Newcastle United and he came back to Celtic as Director of Football for one season.

WALTER SMITH

Footballing royalty and legendary manager Walter grew up in Carmyle in the east end of Glasgow, a boyhood fan of Rangers, the club he would eventually take to the heights of Scottish football.

He trained as an electrician and worked for the South of Scotland Electricity Board before launching his football career in the 1960s with Junior League team Ashfield.

Walter spent some time with Dundee United and Dumbarton, but at the age of 29, a pelvic injury threatened his career and he was invited to join the coaching team at Dundee United.

He was a brilliant manager both at club and country level.

In 1978 he was appointed coach of the Scotland Under 18 team, and helped them to win the European Youth Championship in 1982.

He became coach of the Under 21 team, and was Alex Ferguson’s assistant manager during the 1986 Mexico World Cup.

In 1991, he became manager of Rangers, going on to win seven successive league titles including a domestic treble in 1992/93.

He won both the Scottish Cup and the League Cup three times and was responsible for Rangers reaching their record-equalling ninth successive League title in 1997 - the famous ‘nine-in-a-row’ victory which has never been beaten since.

He was awarded an OBE that year, for services to football.

Walter is credited with rejuvenating the Scotland national team when he took over in 2004, and he left it in a healthy position when he decided to return to Rangers.

He took the club to the final of the UEFA Cup – the club’s first European final for 36 years, and went on to secure Rangers’ 54th league championship, a world record, in his final season.
