ON THIS DAY
THE WAY WE WERE
On 4th March 1951, Kenny Dalglish was born. He was the son of an engineer, and the family lived in Dalmarnock, Glasgow. They moved later to Govan, not far from Ibrox and the Rangers football club. Kenny was a Rangers supporter in his early life.
One of the few items of makeup my mother had on her dressing table was rouge. It was in a little round pot with a lid. She kept it in the cut glass tray that matched her powder bowl. There was a cut-glass scent spray too.
He was given a provisional contract with Celtic in 1967. Celtic manager Jock Stein sent Sean Fallon to see Dalglish and his parents at home. When he heard who was at the door Kenny rushed upstairs to remove the Rangers posters from his bedroom walls. The two clubs are arch rivals!
Rouge was a creamy consistency, and she used to put it on before she dusted the powder on. It gave a pretty pink glow to her cheeks. It was actually quite difficult to apply. I remember trying it once when I was little. I finished up looking like Aunt Sally on Wurzel Gummidge with two bright red circles.
