Paul Dalglish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Dalglish (born 18 February 1977 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Major League Soccer club Houston Dynamo.
Dalglish, son of former Scotland international Kenny Dalglish, started his career as a youth player with Celtic before joining Liverpool, but made no appearances for either of his father's former clubs.
Dalglish was then signed by his father for Newcastle United, but made only 14 appearances, scoring 1 goal. After a successful loan spell, he permanently joined Norwich City in 1999 for £300,000, but failed to establish himself having scored just 17 goals in three years at the club.
Dalglish went on to have brief spells with Wigan Athletic (loan), Blackpool, Scunthorpe (loan), Linfield and Italian club Modena.
Having considered retiring from football, Dalglish was given a lifeline when newly appointed Livingston manager Paul Lambert signed him up at Almondvale and, despite them struggling near the bottom of the Scottish Premier League, Dalglish impressed, scoring in a narrow 2-1 defeat to Celtic.
Dalglish's performances attracted the attention of Hibernian manager Tony Mowbray and on the final day of the January 2006 transfer window, he joined the Edinburgh club for a nominal fee. After being sidelined with injuries, Dalglish left Hibs in August 2006 to play for Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo. On November 5, 2006, the Dynamo defeated the Colorado Rapids 3-1 in the Western Conference final to earn a spot in its first MLS Cup as the Houston Dynamo. Dalglish scored twice and was named man of the match in the MLS Cup Playoffs West Conference Finals.
