As a player and manager of the club he won thirty trophies but arguably his greatest challenge came in the aftermath of Hillsborough when he became a beacon of hope and strength for the families who suffered tragic losses and in the twenty-seven-year fight for justice that followed.

This feature film documents his early life in Glasgow, how he met his wife-to-be Marina, his meteoric rise at Celtic and the triumphs that followed during his glorious playing days at Liverpool FC.

In 1985, just a day after the Heysel Stadium tragedy, Kenny was appointed player manager of Liverpool FC. Already idolised for his ability on the pitch, this intensely private 34-year old was now the public face of the club, making the leap from player to ‘gaffer’ at the most difficult of times with 39 deaths at Heysel hanging over the club and the city.

His managerial success during the years that followed are uniquely captured through the eyes of legendary former players such as Alan Hansen, Ian Rush, and John Barnes as well as one of his greatest rivals Sir Alex Ferguson.

But there was more tragedy to come and all the triumphs were overshadowed by 96 deaths on the terraces of Hillsborough. The impact of that terrible day is vividly portrayed by Kenny, his family and his closest friends with the weight of supporting the families who lost their loved ones and sharing the grief of an entire city eventually leading to his resignation as manager.

Uplifting, funny, powerful and at times truly heart-breaking, this unique portrait of a proud and caring man will touch the hearts of everyone who sees it. Featuring his greatest moments on the pitch, previously unseen footage of Kenny relaxing at home with his growing family and in-depth interviews with him and all those that know him best, this film tells the story of one of football’s greatest players and a city’s favourite adopted son.
