On This Day in Football: Hundred up for Dalglish and Beckham

On this day in 1986, Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish earned his 100th cap for the Scottish national team.

Dalglish remains the only player in Scottish football history to reach the milestone with Jim Leighton coming a close second with 91 caps and Darren Fletcher with 80 at third.

Dalglish made his debut in 1971 as a substitute against Belgium in a European Championship qualifier. Although it took him over a year to score his first goal for his country, he eventually matched Denis Law’s record of 30 goals for the national team.
