Jan Molby thinks that Kanny Dalglish just edges Steven Gerrard as Liverpool's greatest player because the England captain has never won the Premier League.

Former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby has declared that Kenny Dalglish deserves to be ranked ahead of Steven Gerrard as the club's greatest ever player.

Reds defender Jamie Carragher sparked debate among Liverpool supporters earlier this week by insisting that Gerrard is the best player to ever wear a Liverpool shirt.

Molby disagrees with Carragher and believes that Dalglish stands above the England skipper because he delivered league titles consistently during his time at Anfield.

He told the Daily Star: "It's impossible for me to say Gerrard is the best Liverpool player ever. I think he would have to be in anyone's top three or five but there are others with a claim to the title, for a long time Kenny Dalglish was acknowledged as the best.

"I think a better way of putting it is that Gerrard is the most important. He means more to the team than anyone in Liverpool's history.

"But when we look back at his career, some people might talk about a lack of fulfilment. He hasn't won a league title and there's no real prospect of that changing before he retires."

Gerrard has been ever-present in the Premier League for Brendan Rodgers's side so far this season.
