Liverpool and Scotland great Kenny Dalglish has revealed he is undergoing treatment for cancer.
Dalglish, who is one of Liverpool's greatest players and also managed the club in two spells, issued a statement about his diagnosis on Tuesday.
The 75-year-old former forward said he had mistakenly posted about his health on social media before later confirming the treatment.
"As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer," Dalglish said.
"Ideally this would have remained private because that's the way it should be, but my useless technology skills have forced my hand.
"Obviously I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected."
Liverpool sent their "support, best wishes and love" to Dalglish, adding: "The club would also like to underscore his request for privacy moving forward."
Dalglish's statement came just 24 hours after it was revealed that Liverpool star Kevin Keegan has stage four cancer.
