Liverpool great Sir Kenny Dalglish has been handed a £1,000 fine after being caught exceeding a 20mph speed limit in Merseyside.
The 74-year-old admitted the offence after being recorded by a speed camera driving at 30mph on Little Crosby Road in Crosby in September last year. The area enforces a 20mph limit as it passes through a residential village zone.
Dalglish was prosecuted by Merseyside Police and sentenced last week under the Single Justice Procedure, which allows magistrates to deal with cases using written submissions without a court hearing.
In addition to the fine, Magistrate Sylvia Yang imposed three penalty points on his driving licence, along with £120 in court costs and a £400 victim surcharge.
Court documents revealed that Dalglish had initially been accused of failing to identify himself as the driver following the incident. However, that charge was later withdrawn after Dalglish denied receiving the original request for information, a position accepted by the prosecution.
The offence took place at 2.09pm on 21 September 2025 while Dalglish was driving his silver Mercedes through Little Crosby.
Dalglish, widely regarded as one of the greatest figures in British football history, won six league titles and three European Cups as a player with Liverpool FC. He later enjoyed further success as manager, winning three league championships and two FA Cups, and was knighted in 2018 for services to football.
He admitted the speeding offence in writing, avoiding the need to attend court in person.
