GRENADE FEAR FOR DALGLISH

Former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish was the innocent victim of a business feud that saw a grenade left at his Birkdale home in 2009. Two men who planned the grenade attack on a Merseyside businessman were jailed for abandoning the device outside the Dalglish home. It was intended to be thrown through a window at Dalglish’s neighbour, but the plan was foiled by undercover police before the attack. Two men were jailed for five years and four and a half years respectively.
