Oh My God They Killed Kenny

A ‘Banksy-syle’ mural of Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has been defaced, only days after it appeared.

The red and black painting of Dalglish, from a famous photograph of the legendary number seven looking over his shoulder, first showed up on a derelict site opposite the club’s Melwood Training Ground on Wednesday February 15. Only a few days later it has been destroyed, possibly by jealous rival supporters.

Painted by 19-year-old Liverpool student artist David Cain the image reflected the stencilled style of acclaimed British street artist Banksy.

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo Cain said; “I chose the Melwood site because I thought it would be the ideal location to show my appreciation towards Kenny for getting us back up the table and being a legend.

“I wanted the image to resemble the flags that get waved around the Kop at Anfield with the iconic image. It took me about five minutes to do it, starting from unfolding the stencil.”
