Blackpool boss Holloway: Dalglish swore at me for asking for autograph

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is looking forward to facing his hero Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool on Wednesday.

Holloway will only request a handshake when he next meets his hero on Wednesday.

Ollie's men welcome Liverpool to Bloomfield Road, with King Kenny in charge after Roy Hodgson's Anfield exit.

Holloway said: "Very, very good luck to Kenny. Once, after I'd just lost my job at Leicester, I asked him for his autograph and he told me to - well, I can't tell you, you can't print it! He thought I was joking.

"He's a lovely man. He remembered when I got the sack at Bristol Rovers and spoke very openly and honestly to me. What a dignified man he is."
