The sight of Alan Kennedy walking into a room in a tracksuit is truly an impressive one. Not simply due to the knowledge of his phenomenal track record - five league championships, four League Cups, three Charity Shields and, most notably, two European Cup medals - but he still looks supremely fit. "I'm going for a jog later on," he reveals. "I do my best to stay in shape because I believe that it is the key to staying healthy for as long as possible."

 

This philosophy is hardly a surprise for someone who played until he was into his forties and who, to this day, still plays regularly for the Liverpool masters side. "My aim is to beat Phil Neal's record," he says with a mischievous smile.
