'Hugely disappointed but immensely proud' - Dalglish responds to Duckenfield's Hillsborough verdict

The Liverpool legend and his wife Marina despaired after match commander David Duckenfield was found not guilty on Thursday

Kenny Dalglish was "hugely disappointed" as David Duckenfield was found not guilty of gross negligence manslaughter over the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, but the Liverpool legend remains "immensely proud" of the affected families.

Former South Yorkshire Police chief superintendent Duckenfield was the match commander on April 15, 1989, when Liverpool played Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final at the home of Sheffield Wednesday.

He was charged over the deaths of 95 people who died in crushes at the Leppings Lane end of the stadium.
