Speaking on the film, Kapadia said: “Kenny Dalglish was my hero as a kid and I had his picture on my wall in North London where I grew up.
“I wanted to make this film for people like me who remember Kenny as a player, the Celtic, Liverpool, and Scottish fans, but also for my kids’ generation who only know Kenny from playing FIFA.
“They know the name but they have never seen how good he was as a player or, more importantly, what he did off the pitch for the people of Liverpool. Kenny was the leader who always stepped up and led us when we needed him.”
